| Diana DeGarmo |
Igor Goldin will direct with musical direction by Jeffrey Lodin.
DeGarmo (Hairspray, Joseph…) will star as Liberty in a cast that also features Ryan Duncan (Altar Boyz, Shrek) as James Goodleaf, Leah Horowitz (Les Miserables) as Emma Lazarus and Destan Owens (Chicago, Rent) as Samuel Ferguson. Show time is 8 PM.
The new musical, which features book and lyrics by Dana Leslie Goldstein and music by Jonathan Goldstein, is described as such: "A beautiful, French immigrant arrives in New York Harbor. There's something different about her, something larger than life. It's the age of optimism, but there's a recession going on, and immigration is a hot-button issue. Powerful political forces are working against her, and a precious few see her potential. Liberty tells the story of one statuesque immigrant's struggle, strife and success in the ever-evolving country she's come to symbolize."
The creative team includes Josh Zangen (set designer), Michael Gottlieb (lighting designer) and Austin Switser (projections designer).
