					<description><![CDATA[You may’ve heard the name in passing over the years . Such a catchy name, but couldn’t quite place her. Old-time movie star? Puerto Rican musical import? Variety show hostess? On January 30th, we lost one of Broadway’s best,&#160;at the age of&#160;91. Never fear, my buried musical theater maniac mindset has been reignited. Allow me&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Quite a few years back, my then-boyfriend Jim and I were in downtown Los Angeles to partake in a favorite pastime, live theater. As we wandered the plaza, enjoying the kind of evening only Southern California can provide, we noticed two ladies, probably in their early 80s, walking in front of us. As they approached&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When I was entrenched in musical theater &#8211; doing shows every weekend &#8211; there was a general feeling that we actors had to&#160;up&#160;the energy for any Sunday matinee. The applause could be dismal and lackluster, and the laughs tended to be, shall we say, less enthusiastic, less on the spot, a pitter-patter. The reason? The&#8230;]]></description>

There are the mega-fans who are&#160;devastated, creating shrines or YouTube tribute videos to weep with. Then there’s the gaggle of crazies that want to elevate the death to a level of 24-hour tribute reporting that the general public&#8230;]]></description>

I&#8217;m not one who enjoys shopping as a rule. So in fairness I was already in a huff, finding myself in a store, looking for a birthday gift&#8230;]]></description>

It’s sort of harmless.&#160;Yet, it’s driven some of my closest friends and loved ones&#160;insane&#160;with frustration, even as early as high school and college. So what IS this illicit trait, you ask?&#160; Breaking out into showtunes on the street corner? Having ridiculously strong opinions on James&#8230;]]></description>

Before digital cameras and international-transmitting-devices resided in everyone’s pockets, just&#160;waiting&#160;to capture each immature misdeed.&#160; And I was one of the prudish ones with little to worry about &#8211; such a lily-white goody-two-shoes.

					<description><![CDATA[About eight or nine years ago, my partner Ed was participating in some jazz-singing&#160;workshops. Mind you, he was already a GREAT singer – the man had been on Broadway.

					<description><![CDATA[I’ve been trying to figure out when it all started, to pinpoint it. First I thought I should maybe “blame it” on my travel-writer friend, Monica.
