A delightful new family musical celebrating courage, sacrifice, and the birth of the American Revolution will come to Lexington this spring. For Love! For Liberty! will be performed on Saturday, April 11 at 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. at the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library.

Blending original music, dance, and powerful storytelling, For Love! For Liberty! bridges centuries as middle-school history students help the U.S. Park Service bring the past to life. At the heart of the musical is the extraordinary true story of Henry Knox, a young Boston bookseller who in the winter of 1775–1776 undertook an almost impossible mission: hauling sixty tons of cannon across frozen lakes and snow-covered mountains to save the struggling American Revolution.

The production also shines a light on the remarkable woman beside him, Lucy Knox, who defied her loyalist family, sacrificed her fortune, and sustained Henry’s courage through letters and  cake.

Filled with memorable songs, lively choreography, and engaging historical characters, the show is designed to inspire audiences of all ages while illuminating one of the most dramatic moments in Revolutionary history. By connecting the past with the present through young students discovering the story, the musical celebrates the enduring power of love, liberty, and determination.

Presented in historic Lexington, the performance offers a fitting setting for a story that helped shape the nation’s fight for independence.

Families, history lovers, and community members are encouraged to attend this unique theatrical experience that brings the American Revolution vividly to life.
