An election year is the perfect time to go behind the scenes at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and that's just what the Broadway favorite 1776 does, putting you in the room with founding fathers John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, as they use their powers of persuasion -- along with song and dance -- to woo the rest of the colonies away from Mother England. This Tony-winning show stirs romance, comedy and conflict into the musical melting pot at Warwick's Ocean State Theatre, and features a sparkling Richard Sherman score with great tunes like "Sit Down, John," "Yours, Yours, Yours" and "Cool, Cool, Considerate Men."
