NEW YORK—A young girl, Ellen (Zoe Glick), around 11 years old, enters and sings: “Sometimes you see a picture, Or hear a song, Or read a letter, And a person that’s forgotten comes alive for a moment, They can tell you a story.”
And so begins the chamber musical “Unknown Soldier,” with its book and lyrics by Daniel Goldstein, and music and lyrics by Michael Friedman. This production marks a New York premiere, but it had a former incarnation at the 2015 Williamstown Theatre Festival at Williams College in Massachusetts.
