1969 off-Broadway version
Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt bring the bold, adventurous theatrical techniques they pioneered in "The Fantasticks" a step further with this allegorical winter's tale.
On a magical New Year's Eve, a young Orphan stumbles into the home of the richest man in the world, whose bizarre entourage includes a beautiful fallen Angel. With the Orphan's help, the jaded Mr. Rich regains his humanity, only to find himself locked in ritualistic battle with the youth for the Angel's love. All of this takes place on a platform surrounded by masked Revelers who participate in the action and wait to see what the winter night will bring.

Opening with a small advance sale, word-of-mouth and critical praise made 1776 the sleeper hit of of the late 1960s. It was a hit all over again when it was revived on Broadway in 1997.
