The famous historical musical 1776 got a makeover.
First hitting Broadway in 1969, 1776 is a musical about the events leading up to both the drafting and signing of the Declaration of Independence. The musical was a smash, winning the Tony for best musical that year.The 2022 revival's directors opted to take the familiar tale in a different direction, however. The cast of the show, which began in early October, is made up only of female, transgender, and nonbinary actors.
“With the other cast members, the main thing we communicated was, ‘You’re going to feel some things,’” Page said. “What the black cast members asked was to leave your fragility at the door.” "Trans People Have Always Existed — they existed in 1776, and they absolutely exist ON BROADWAY!" Souza wrote. “I believe there’s something to be gained when we reexamine history in this way, by putting faces and bodies onstage that were not a part of the traditional makeup of this show,” Crystal Lucas-Perry, who plays John Adams, told the Boston Globe this summer.
