...Coleman hopes to launch in November, is based on the previous HRTV production, “Harvard Hookups,” which folded in 2006. She began working on revamping the show at the beginning of this school year. “The goal of the show is to highlight how much fun Harvard students are. We would love to promote dating on campus,” she said. On the show, one bachelor or bachelorette will choose a date from a panel of three single students.

Bachelors in penguin suits escorted bachelorettes with wonderful gusto. As Prince Charming, Nelson Madrigal had all of the second act to lament in a style reminiscent of Prince Siegfried’s melancholy soliloquy in “Swan Lake.” Though lacking overwhelming charisma, he made up for it with his superb partnering of an audacious Cornejo. Her abrupt, instinctual shifts in direction as she leapt...
