...burst of Blavat from a Saturday Evening Post profile that Bruce Jay Friedman wrote in 1966. Read it quickly, the way he speaks it: "Kings and queens, yon royal teens, this is your Geator with the Heater coming to you on Big-Tahm Thursday where we rock the big tick-tock, where we got the class to beat all of the blast from the past...
...emotional connection with the people onstage, for one thing. The late composer-lyricist Jonathan Larson earns our tears even before we walk into the theater. He died, tragically, of an aortic aneurysm just weeks before his soon-to-be-a-hit Rent opened. Now one of his earlier works, Tick, Tick...Boom!, has been revived off-Broadway.

"Yes, but he also means to say I'm sensitive, understanding, caring," she purrs. Geng Le starts to tick off those attributes like a parrot. Shu Qi laughs, and it appears for all the world like she couldn't be more at peace with herself. But reality is fragile, and even in that moment, you know she's not. There is a line Marilyn Monroe's character Cherie, the wanna...
