Based on true events, Liberty is an entertaining 80-minute theatrical experience telling the story of a young French immigrant who arrives in New York Harbor in 1884. Coming to the United States in the middle of a national immigration debate and a terrible recession, political forces are aligning to deport her. With a strong resolve and a mighty spirit, she battles to gain acceptance and eventually becomes a lasting symbol of the young country.
Liberty previously completed an 8 week run at the East Village's Theatre 80 St. Marks last year where it was called "A winning musical. Kids and teens will find inspiration in Liberty's perseverance." (NBC). Liberty: A Monumental New Musical, is adapted from original material by Dana Leslie Goldstein, Jon Goldstein and Robert Bruce McIntosh, features a book and lyrics by Dana Leslie Goldstein with music by Jon Goldstein, directed by Evan Pappas and produced by Theresa Wozunk, MMW Productions, Erik Stangvik, and Tim Harper.
