1776

So, this is a musical about 1776 and the founding father's role in the writing and signing of the Declaration of Independence. It is really cheesy and the musical numbers probably aren't so great, but it is pretty hilarious. It was directed by Peter H. Hunt in 1972 basically done off the Broadway version. John Adams and Benjamin Franklin, somewhat force Thomas Jefferson to write the declaration as a part of making more time for signers to joining the cause for independence. It makes the founding fathers seem very likable and humorous. Probably not historically correct in most cases, but it gets the point across of how important the declaration was to the war and to the fight for independence.
