It was recently announced that the New York City Center was staging a production of '1776' as part of their Encore! season. The colorblind production stars Santino Fontana ('Billy Elliot the Musical'), John Larroquette ('How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying') as Benjamin Franklin and Nikki Renee Daniels ('Book of Mormon') as Martha Washington. Now, Daniels is opening up about how Hamilton helped pave the way for the new production of '1776.'
