Bravura • \bruh-VUR-uh\ • Noun - 1: a musical passage
requiring exceptional agility and technical skill in execution 2: a florid
brilliant style 3: a show of daring or brilliance.
“WOW” exclaimed the corporate administrative assistant to
her seatmate at the local production of “Rocky Horror Picture Show.” “I knew
that Montague was a theater nut, but I had no idea that he would play
‘Frank-N-Furter’ so broadly, with so much bravura,” she said.
Monty would never be seen in the same light again, as he
daily wheeled the mail cart through the cubicles…the “gophers” rolling their
chairs out to watch him stroll by.
