Beto O'Rourke recently issued an apology for the demeaning way he wrote about the women in The Will Rogers Follies in a review he wrote of the show in the Columbia Daily Spectatorback in 1991. He recognized that at the time he the youngest person in attendance by some 60 years who attended the show. He did recognize that those from the older generation seemed to be having a great time. He still says he found the show "revolting".

In 1991, a nineteen year-old Beto O'Rourke wrote a theatre review for a Broadway show- The Will Rogers Follies. The review has recently come to light, and the Texas Senate candidate has a lot to answer for. The review in the October 10, 1991 edition of the Columbia Daily Spectator reads:
The Will Rogers Follies" is one of the most glaring examples of the sickening excesses and moral degradations of our culture. The production, done in the ostentatious Ziegfield tradition, is little more than one boring, pointless song and dance number after another... Keith Carradine in the lead role is surrounded by perma-smile actresses whose only qualifications seem to be their: phenomenally large breasts and tight buttocks."
