Storm:  Dictionary:  'have great and rapid success in a particular place or with a particular group of people': example: Storm Large took  Pace Universitie's Schimmel Center audience by Storm last night and BroadwayWorld was there.    Using her intoxicating, powerful, beautiful voice, musicianship, and acting ability, she is able to deconstruct some Great American Songbook Standards in a way that unlocks another world of interpretation.  Combined with Storm's breathtaking beauty and complete control of her physicality her performance is as electrifying as it gets.  In fact looking around at the audience folks seemed to be looking at each other and silently saying, 'do you believe how good this is'?  Put Lady Gaga, Madonna, Marilyn Monroe, Donna Summers, Lauren Bacall and some others in a a cloud and thundering down comes Storm Large.
