It’s an age-old question: do opposites attract? More specifically, could you date someone who had completely different music tastes to you?

Rhinestone Rex and Miss Monica explores this contested idea with oodles of wit and charm through the story of a very unlikely pair.

It’s the beginnings of a new friendship between Miss Monica and her contractor Gary. Monica has taken leave from the Sydney Symphony due to tendonitis in her shoulder and decides to employ Gary to install her IKEA-designed decor.

Unbeknownst to the trained musician, Gary has an alter ego of Rhinestone Rex, a washed-up country music star who intends to convince Monica that country music is just as valid as her classical taste.

Both single and alone, a little spark forms between the two, but are they too dissimilar to match or do opposites attract?
