Finding The Boy Beyond The Rainbow
"Compelling, emotionally raw, vulnerable and engrossing."
Brian Ritchie
Friday 2, Saturday 3 May, 2025 - 7:30pm (80 mins)
Much-loved Tasmanian artist Rod Anderson returns to the stage with his new one-man cabaret, Finding the Boy Beyond the Rainbow.
In this personal memoir, Anderson reflects on growing up in the 50s and 60s, navigating a challenging society with the escapism and inspiration of musicals.
Filled with era-defining songs, the show is part nostalgia, part camp, and a heartfelt exploration of self and identity. With a candid take on sexuality and the Baby Boomer experience, it’s both a poignant tribute and a celebration of a theatre performer’s journey.
