We were psyched to talk to one of our favorite artists, Judy Kuhn, about her performance in the Michael Friedman and Daniel Goldstein musical “Unknown Soldier” at Arena Stage, and about some of her earlier turns — you probably remember her as the mother in “Fun Home,” Fosca in the 2013 revival of “Passion,” Cosette then Fantine in different productions of “Les Misérables,” Florence in “Chess.” The list is long and impressive. Next up is the Encores! production of “Titanic” on June 11-23.

Judy is one of the finest, most sensitive musical-theater actors you could dream of seeing on a stage, and it was a total treat to chat with her.
