In Boston, Paul Revere etches out a humble living as a
silversmith. Americans and British alike hail the exquisite
artistry of his work. But when Paul’s revolutionary
friends, John Hancock and Samuel Adams pressure
Revere to take a stand against British tyranny and join
the Sons of Liberty, he worries that supporting the
cause of revolution would mean losing his business
and risking the safety of his family. Revere must make a
choice: to do what is easy, or to do what is right. From
the halls of British Parliament, to the port of Boston and
the “Tea Party” protest, to the Boston Massacre and the
dangerous thrill of Revere’s now-legendary ride, this
new musical makes American history accessible and
exciting through a unique combination of music, drama
and humor. The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere tells the
inspirational, universal story of how ordinary people can
make a difference.
