What Rhymes with Cars and Girls - MTC
Tim Rogers' beloved solo record is the inspiration for a new stage play sure to make you feel all the feels.
Overview
In 1999, You Am I frontman Tim Rogers broke out on his own to record his first solo album, What Rhymes with Cars and Girls. Fifteen years later, playwright Aidan Fennessy has turned the album into a stage play which examines the blossoming of an unlikely romance in contemporary Australia.
Tash (Sophie Ross) is a feisty singer in an indie rock band. Johnno (Johnny Carr) is a pizza delivery guy 'from the wrong side of the tracks'. Then one fateful night — yep, you guessed it — their worlds collide (to a Rogers-arranged soundtrack). If you’re looking to see Timmy Rogers treading the boards than you're sadly out of luck, but to hear his songs transformed into theatre will undoubtedly bring new life to a classic album.
What Rhymes with Cars and Girls will run at the MTC until the end of March. This raw, complex and highly relatable tale of urban romance is sure to make you feel all the feels.
