“Dear PoPville,
He has been taking care of my dog for years, and has always been so sweet and kind with him. Mike is the gentlest soul and I literally can’t stand to take my dog to anyone else. He’s such an important part of our dog community and everyone who knows Mike loves him. Levon’s dog groomer, Groomer Mike, is so beloved that there is often a 2-3 month wait to get appointments with him. It turns out he’s had some serious health issues and could use some help. I hope the DC dog community can rally”

Cleaning out her grandmother’s home, Ellen Rabinowitz discovers a mysterious photograph of a soldier, tucked away in a box of keepsakes. And so begins this sweeping, heartfelt musical about one woman’s journey to unearth the secrets buried in her family’s past. Spanning three generations, “Unknown Soldier” unravels a delicate tangle of family lore, as Ellen chases the extraordinary story that unlocks her history—and charts her future.
“Unknown Soldier” has a book by Daniel Goldstein (Broadway’s “Godspell”), music by the late Michael Friedman (“Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson”), and lyrics by Goldstein and Friedman. The Arena Stage production is directed by Trip Cullman (Broadway’s “The Rose Tattoo”) and stars Kerstin Anderson (Broadway’s “My Fair Lady”), Riglee Ruth Bryson (“Annie” North American Tour), Adam Chanler-Berat (Broadway’s “Next to Normal”), Lora Lee Gayer (Broadway’s “Holiday Inn”), Nehal Joshi (Broadway’s “The Phantom of the Opera”), Perry Sherman (Broadway’s “Fun Home”), and four-time Tony Award nominee Judy Kuhn (Broadway’s “Les Misérables”).
The musical has been hailed “COMPELLING…a romantic mystery spanning almost a century” by The Washington Post, “GORGEOUS…ENGAGING…SIMPLY MAGICAL…a fascinating exploration of memory, love, and loss” by BroadwayWorld, and “MOVING…ENTHRALLING…EVOCATIVE…the memory musical unfolds with the delicacy of an heirloom music box” by DC Theater Arts.
“Unknown Soldier” plays at Arena Stage through May 5. Get tickets at arenastage.org/soldier.
