Keythe Farley here. Thanks for the sweet review! May I implore you to remove the spoilers from your review? The fun of any play, and Bat Boy in particular, is giving the audience the opportunity to enjoy the piece as it unfolds The central mystery of our play is the secret of Edgar's unholy origins. If this essential secret is divulged ahead of time, the audience is robbed of the "Aha!" moment built into the climax of the play. Thanks for your understanding, and congratulations to all involved with the varsity production at Columbia. Hi. Keythe Farley here. Thanks for the sweet review!

It's West Virginia. Also, some of the cast and crew from Bat Boy are working on varsity show, so I don't really see how or why they would be competing against themselves? Regardless, Bat Boy was great! It’s not the Deep South. It’s West Virginia.

Really, really excellent. I agree that "Three Bedroom House" was a great number showcasing some great voices. I'm pretty sure the line is "the wages of sin is death" though? The Vshow comparison was... unnecessary. Whatever. Also, I love how when the show is good, we have to hate on the review (myself included). Just so long as there's hate for something in the bwog comments, right? Anyway, like the above reviewer said, much more importantly, congrats to everyone who helped make Bat Boy a really enjoyable two hours. Really great job, you guys. Bat Boy was amazing.

I think she probably has never written a theatre review. So constructively, too many quotes, but thank you for putting in the effort and enjoying the show. And, much more importantly, congratulations to all involved in Bat Boy for putting on a fantastic production and raising the bar for Columbia theatre. Great season altogether!

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:58:18 +0000 http://bwog.com/?p=9495#comment-179975 VShow and Bat Boy are two completely different productions, the only shared features being that they are both musicals and both have Columbia students. It's wonderful that Bat Boy is great, but I don't see how that "puts the Varsity Show in a tough position." Good show, awfully written review. You've already been accepted, no need to desperately try to prove that you're intelligent.

Too bad there wasn't some other reviewer who could do a better job, because this writing doesn't do justice to how good the show was. I agree… the show was great, but this review isn’t.

You can tell when someone is trying too hard to sound smart and subsequently drops large vocabulary words unsuccessfully.

I agree with the sentiment (Bat Boy was amazing), but it was so riddled with errors and so generally unreadable that there was rarely a sentence I didn't have to go back and read again.
