BEAUTY AND THE BEE (OLD MUTUAL THEATRE ON THE SQUARE, SANDTON, UNTIL JUNE 21)

http://www.artzone.co.za/template_level2.asp?parentseq=4714

Do we really need another Evita Bezuidenhout? The answer, after watching Beauty and the BEE with its 'black diamond Evita', has to be emphatically 'no'.

Beauty and the BEEPieter-Dirk Uys set the standard and the template for a man dressing up as a woman to comment on the country's social ills – and continues to get away with it with panache, lampooning our new leaders with as much glee as he did the eminently mockable Nats. Evita remains the most famous white woman in South Africa, and continues to satirise our political and social landscape while not mincing words about its failings.

THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW (VICTORY THEATRE, HOUGHTON ESTATE, UNTIL JULY 31)

Rocky Horror fever continues to be the talk of the town and, as Riff Raff sneers while singing Time Warp, "nothing will ever be the same".

If you're looking for a fabulous evening's entertainment, come up to the lab and cast your eyes no further than this production of the cult '70s musical.

It is a rip-roaring, seat-wetting, heavy-petting, corset-ripping ride into Transsexual Transylvania. Despite that description, it doesn't seem to have an age restriction – nor, in fact, does it need one. Anyone who gets offended by this irreverent slice of pop culture history needs his or her head examined.
