Starring William Daniels, Howard da Silva, Ken Howard, Blythe Danner, and Donald Madden. Directed by Peter H. Hunt.

1776 is a delightful musical celebration of the founding of The United States of America. The story centers around the familiar historical characters as they organize a movement for independence from Mother England. All events lead up to that most significant date, July 4, 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was signed. 

Originally released as a motion picture in 1972.
