Miss Liberty (Broadway Premiere)

Irving Berlin and Robert E. Sherwood’s 'Miss Liberty' completed an accomplished original Broadway premiere run at the Imperial Theatre in 1949, running for a triumphant 308 performances under the banner of the theater company. Showcasing Moss Hart’s precise comedic direction and Jerome Robbins's legendary, high-stepping choreography templates, the narrative turns the newspaper wars of mid-century Manhattan into an active arena of corporate strategy and romantic rivalries, tracking a young publisher's choice to exploit an immigrant model, introducing standards like "Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor."
