In the new musical Soldier’s Song, J. W. Cortes, a Puerto Rican veteran of the Iraq war, stars as Jose, a Puerto Rican soldier who gets the call to go to Iraq. The poor singer-songwriter is in love with Erica (Christiana Little), a rich woman from Charleston who has promised to wait for him. Jim Cohen and Joanne Lee Drexler Cohen’s show follows their romance as Jose is sent on a dangerous mission against al-Qaeda. Directed by Angelica Torn (the daughter of Rip Torn and Geraldine Page) and also featuring Melody Berger and Noah Chase, Soldier’s Song is running July 28-31 and August 17-21 and 24-28 at the Poet’s Den Theater on East 108th St.
