The show is the second Broadway revival of the Tony-winning musical, which originally debuted in 1969. This production features an entirely female, non-binary and transgender cast taking on the roles of founding fathers like Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. Set in the months leading up to America's first Independence Day, '1776' dramatizes the careful negotiations that led the 56 delegates to the Second Continental Congress to declare freedom from England.
The $17.76 offer is only good for select sections and select performances, and can only be claimed in person. Head over to the Forrest Theatre box office Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. through 6 p.m. to secure your seat.
