About this show
A gay coming of age country/rock opera one-man musical traumedy. Based on an original album of autobiographical songs written and performed by Joey Jennings this dazzling, dreamy and poignant musical explores his hilarious and turbulent experiences navigating modern gay culture, generational trauma, addiction and reconnecting with his younger self. From the sterile fluorescent lights of a casting office to the magical dreamscape of a country cruising bar, it is ultimately a deeply personal love letter to his mother, a farewell to his Toyota Corolla and a re-discovery of the power of a long-lost little pink dress.

The rose-coloured garment of the show’s title is what primary-aged Joey Jennings would slip into for comfort after yet another traumatic day at school, as one of the songs in his very personal, gay solo country/rock…
