Jersey Arts TV: '1776' Takes a Stand at Algonquin Arts Theatre


By Gina Marie Rodriguez & Dave Tavani

originally published: 05/01/2025

Algonquin Arts Theatre is gearing up to present the Tony Award-winning show about U.S. American history. The musical that many consider the original Broadway history lesson - "1776."

The three-time Tony Award winner, including winner of Best Musical, allows you to witness the birth of a nation in the revolutionary musical experience that paved the way for historical shows like "Hamilton," "Parade," "Assassins" and more. You'll join John Adams, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and other iconic figures as they draft the Declaration of Independence.

The award-winning musical is a gripping portrayal of some of the most pivotal moments in American history. "1776" is not just a musical; it's a captivating journey that brings history to life with stirring melodies and a patriotic spirit.

Jersey Arts is at the Algonquin Arts Theatre to speak with the cast and creatives about this funny, historical, and somewhat accurate musical.

Algonquin Arts Theatre presents "1776" from May 9-18, 2025.  Tickets are available for purchase online.  Algonquin Arts Theatre is located at 60 Abe Voorhees Drive in Manasquan, New Jersey.
