...next scene the same husband is aboard the Titanic, ardently seducing a cheeky lad from steerage who points out that the ship has become "tilty." In the scene after, the streetwise youth is a dim but pretty, gay disco pickup in the '70s. This sort of inventive time bending, accompanied by a catchall range of song styles to span the century, tryst by tryst, is what makes off- Broadway's Hello Again the one interesting musical of this scratchy season and its creator, composer-librettist-lyricist Michael John LaChiusa, the big breakthrough talent...

"I thought I wanted to be professional. But I realized I didn't have the killer instinct." Soon he was driving a forklift at the Guinness brewery in Belfast by day, and at night filling the Lyric Theatre stage with roles like that of Lennie in Of Mice and Men. In 1986 he moved to Los Angeles, where he was felled by diverticulitis, an intestinal disorder. That experience scarred...
