A New York producer is getting her big break on Saturday when Lady Liberty's crown reopens. A song from Theresa Wozunk's upcoming musical "Liberty" has been picked as the closing anthem for the ceremony.



Broadway star Sasha Allen will sing the tune, "Huddled," at the end of the ribbon-cutting ceremony on Liberty Island, which will draw politicians and local dignitaries.

"We hope this ends the ceremony on a really inspirational note," Wozunk, 47, said. "This is exciting. It will be amazing to be on the stage with all of those famous people. It's the experience of the lifetime."

Wozunk, who lives in Kensington, Brooklyn, bought the rights to commercially produce the musical three years ago.

The story was being used as an educational piece, but Wozunk has helped transform it into a nine-character musical that explains the history of the Statue of Liberty.

Wozunk hopes the show will hit the stage next year.
