DANCE
“Sailors on leave during World War II start the show off with a bang” Ballet West tantalizes our senses and, for me and Joshua Jones at least, our libido. Opening night of Iconic Classics includes a red carpet welcome, post-show dessert reception, live music and prize drawings. Next, “revel” in Repertory Dance Theatre’s glory when they celebrate its alumni dancers and choreographers.

CONCERTS
Unfortunately I haven’t been staying abreast (I wish there was an emoticon for giggling) on new, up-and-coming music artists, so the majority of the lineup below was compiled using my keen eye for band member/singer hotness. And, well … The Front Bottoms? Really?!!

MOVIES
A sex symbol of his time, the “dreamy” Tab Hunter wooed the women, and daresay a few men? The actor/singer “outed” by Hollywood? Find out his true proclivities in this biographic film. I wonder what would happen if Hollywood tried to out Meryl Streep, I mean the bitch wears Prada. Anyhoo, her new film about women’s suffrage is almost ironic, I mean hasn’t the bitch suffered enough with all her Oscars, Golden Globes and trillions of dollars … Oh wait, she’s being screwed by Nobel.
6Friday — Tab Hunter Confidential
Tower Theatre, 876 E. 900 South, times vary. Tickets $6.75-9.25, saltlakefilmsociety.org
13Friday — Suffragette

THEATRE
Pioneer Theatre Company stages an Irish-style Hatfield and McCoy story. It’s funny though, the title seems to indicate a story about golf. Phew! Anyhoo, written by Academy and Pulitzer winner for Moonstruck and Doubt (the movie version starred that poor, withering bitch Streep) John Patrick Shanley, the show asks and answers ‘is it eternal love?’ And Pygmalion Productions stages an outrageous comedy about the harrowing suffrage of Hollywood actors. But this one is about Barbra Streisand … now she has definitely suffered, have you seen the schnoz?

Pioneer Theatre, 300 S. 1400 East, UofU, times vary, through Nov. 14. Tickets $25-49, pioneertheatre.org
6Friday — Buyer and Cellar
