The revolution continues “1776” at the Ahmanson features an all-female, gender-expansive cast by Bondo Wyszpolski John Cage is quoted as saying…

What did our critic think of 1776 at Ahmanson Theatre? In contemporary theater - as in life - optics matter. A lot. Given current trends in theatrical programing, the musical 1776 would probably never get staged. Granted, Sherman Edwards and Peter Stone's 1969 take on the sturm and drang surrounding the Second Continental Congress's decision to form a new nation may be a patriotic Tony Award-winner.

Gender-bending, ethnically diverse revival '1776' — now at the Ahmanson — is a reminder that we don't have to be limited forever by the errors of history.
