The Statue of Liberty "...is truly something this country needs right now. With the current state of discourse in this country, people need to feel that they are not alone in their struggles or what they have to go through to feel accepted. This show will leave you with a smile on your face and with that feeling of "Someone understands me" and "Someone gets it," - Onstageblog.com.
