About this Event
This delightful musical shares a critical moment in the American Revolution through moving ballads and rap songs, defiant dance numbers, and intense scenes of great drama. Set in 1775 and Present Day, a group of bored middle schoolers visits the Springfield Armory, their eye-rolling disinterest erupts, but their costumed grandfather, a Revolutionary War reenactor and his wife bring to life Henry and Lucy Knox and his daring 1775 expedition—hauling 59 cannons from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston in the dead of winter. The past comes alive in pounding work songs, icy danger, and the Knox’s desperate letters. Reviewers say, “Western Mass has its very on Hamilton!” Tickets available: 52Sumner.com.
