• Free Movie: "1776"

Decades before Hamilton, there was 1776, another Tony-winning Broadway musical about America's founding fathers. It's the fateful summer of 1776, and the nation is ready to declare independence... if only the Continental Congress can agree on how to do it! Celebrate the Fourth of July by taking a tuneful, toe-tapping romp through American history with Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin and John Adams, as they use every trick in the book to close the deal on the Declaration of Independence.
