THIS YEAR’S U.S. ARMY SOLDIER SHOW PRODUCTION, “READY AND RESILIENT: AT YO...UR SERVICE” EXPLORES WHAT IT MEANS TO BE READY AND RESILIENT IN TODAY’S ARMY – AS A SOLDIER, SPOUSE, FAMILY MEMBER, SURVIVOR, RETIREE AND CIVILIAN. IT CELEBRATES THIS GREAT NATION, OUR ARMY, AND THE FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES THAT SUPPORT OUR SERVICE MEMBERS. THE TALENTED CAST AND CREW OF THE 2013 U.S. ARMY SOLDIER SHOW ARE HONORED TO SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE WITH YOU, AND ARE CONFIDENT THAT THE PERFORMANCE WILL BE A POSITIVE AND UPLIFTING REMINDER OF WHAT MAKES OUR SOLDIERS “READY AND RESILIENT.”

THE CAST AND CREW OF THIS SHOW IS MADE UP ENTIRELY OF ACTIVE DUTY AND RESERVE SOLDIERS ASSIGNED TO SERVE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AND FORT DRUM IS PROUD TO COUNT ONE OF IT’S OWN AS A CAST MEMBER. PV2 ALBERTH J. MADRIGAL. PV2 MADRIGAL WAS BORN IN COSTA RICA AND GREW UP IN SUMMIT, N.J. “I’M HISPANIC, SO I CAN DANCE PRETTY WELL, LOOSELY,” HE SAID. “MY MOM WAS AN OPERA SINGER AND MY YOUNGER BROTHER HAS AN INCREDIBLE VOICE. ME, I JUST REALLY LOVE TO SING. PERFORMING, ACTING - WISE, I DID IT THROUGHOUT HIGH SCHOOL.” MADRIGAL DISCOVERED THE U.S. ARMY SOLDIER SHOW WHILE AT ADVANCED INDIVIDUAL TRAINING AT FORT SILL, OKLA., AND FAST TRACKED INTO THE CAST BEFORE HIS FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF BECOMING A SOLDIER.

THE U.S. ARMY SOLDIER SHOW CELEBRATES THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MODERN-DAY SOLDIER SHOW, WHICH BEGAN IN 1984. THE MOTTO, MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY OF THE SHOW – “ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE SOLDIER, BY THE SOLDIER” – WERE ESTABLISHED DURING WORLD WAR I BY SERGEANT ISRAEL BERLIN, A RUSSIAN IMMIGRANT BETTER KNOWN AS IRVING BERLIN. HE CONCEIVED AND DIRECTED THE FIRST ARMY SOLDIER SHOW, WHICH APPEARED ON BROADWAY IN 1918. THE SOLDIERS WHO MAKE UP THE 2013 CAST AND CREW OF THE U.S. ARMY SOLDIER SHOW CARRY ON THE PROUD ARMY ENTERTAINMENT TRADITION OF PERFORMING “FOR THE SOLDIER, BY THE SOLDIER.”
