HERE'S WHAT THE CRITICS
HAVE SAID ABOUT
BLAKE HIMSELF...
(This Should Be Scary.)

"Blake Yelavich can be credited for much
of the show's skillful air. He penned the parody lyrics to the
songs, and he's most adept at laying new words onto familiar tunes,
getting them to scan just so while getting across his own joke.
And those jokes.... Yelavich knows Austin's stage scene inside
and out, and can dish on it in detail."

Over the years,some critics were nice:
"There is no mistake about this adorable comedy farce 
achieving much more lampoon than last spring's Angel's Balcony, 
proving that Blake Yelavich can write and direct 
beyond the parodies that have won him acclaim in former years...."

Um, isn't that what casting is about?:
"Had the producers of television's extremely disappointing 
Sexiest Bachelor in America contest that aired 
early this month employed Yelavich's recruiting abilities, 
America would have without doubt seen 
a sexier breed of men grace the stage...."

Obviously some reviewers don't know Austin guys very well...:
"Don't know how Yelavich does it. His seemingly trademark 
of wonderful displays of muscle-bound eye candy 
running around in hardly nothing at all 
(sometimes brief stenches of nudity even) 
seems to keep his audience's wondering 
where he finds these men and how does he get them 
to tromp around in underwear and leather jock straps."

Anyone remember when 
Blake actually appeared ON-STAGE,
like, in thirty shows?:
"The well-endowed Blake Yelavich flavors Serge 
with more than bare-chested narcissism, 
giving him a layer of vulnerability that leaks through 
the glamorous facade. .."

Or his brief stint with the River City Pops?...:
"Highlights of the show stood out. 
Blake Yelavich and Edie Elkjer performed 
"Where Do We Go From here," 
a song from this year's EVITA movie 
that shimmered with rare quality."

Not all were GREAT reviews, of course...:
To its credit, Yelavich's play does not dumb down 
the homosexual drama the way, say, Showtime's Americanization 
of Channel Four's Queer as Folk does; 
it presents four men with interpersonal problems, 
just like anyone else. And though Yelavich stumbles 
directorally, Aidan's Bed is charming.

They're reviewers... It's their job.
If you would like to contact two of the reviewers
that we respect in this town, please do.
Cut the "(nospam)" out of their address, please.
