Utah Festival Opera & Musical Theatre presents 1776 The Musical June 26th – July 4th, 2026 Ellen Eccles Theatre in Logan, Utah On sale: 2/17/2026 at 10am. It’s a long hot summer in Philadelphia, and the Continental Congress is an exhausted, annoyed, and quarrelsome collection of men. John Adams, the passionate crusader, races against time: if the tenets of independence can’t be articulated, General Washington’s painfully outnumbered army will have no ideal for which to fight. But the cantankerous Adams is struggling to assert his arguments and this large group of strong-minded individuals isn’t coming together. They might have a chance if Thomas Jefferson would write a declaration. Under these conditions, how will America ever achieve Independence? Starring Michael Ballam as John Adams. Run time: TBA Recommended for ages 8 and up. No babes-in-arms. All patrons must have a ticket regardless of age.
