LIBERATION Off-Broadway Cast To Reprise Performances On Broadway

The award-winning Off-Broadway cast of Liberation will reprise their performances when the production transfers to Broadway this fall. The company won the Drama Desk Award in 2025 for Best Ensemble Performance. 

The production will star Tony Award nominee Betsy Aidem as Margie, Audrey Corsa as Dora, Kayla Davion as Joanne, Susannah Flood as Lizzie, Kristolyn Lloyd as Celeste, Irene Sofia Lucio as Isidora, Charlie Thurston as Bill, and Adina Verson as Susan. Understudies are LeeAnne Hutchison, Matthew Russell, and Kedren Spencer.

“This cast is pure magic. I am absolutely over the moon that audiences will get to experience their chemistry, their bravery, and their sheer joy as they work together as an ensemble,” playwright Bess Wohl said in a statement. “This is acting at its finest – bold, hilarious, and deeply felt. I’m so grateful to them for making my words sing and shine.” 

Whitney White will serve as the production’s director. Set design is by three-time Tony Award winner David Zinn, costume design is by Qween Jean, lighting design is by Cha See, sound design is by Palmer Hefferan, and hair and wig design by Nikiya Mathis. Intimacy Director is Kelsey Rainwater.

Set in 1970s Ohio, Liberation tells the story of a group of women who gather in the basement of the local Y for a weekly consciousness-raising group. They find their place in a new wave of feminism taking hold around them. Interwoven with a present-day narrator discovering her mother’s radical past before marriage and motherhood, Liberation becomes a heartfelt exploration of memory, identity, and the enduring power of women speaking their truths. 

‍Liberation will play a 14-week engagement at the James Earl Jones Theatre on West 48th Street in New York City beginning on Oct. 8. For tickets and more information, visit here.
