EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES
For one night only, Bonanza is turning the saloon over to the heartbroken, the healing, the hopeless romantics, and anyone who’s ever cried in a cowboy hat.
With our rodeo being named after queer cowgirl Bonanza Jellybean from Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, this one feels especially close to home.
As always, Bonanza is a safe saloon for the LGBTQ+ community to go full cxnty cowboy. Think stetsons, neckerchiefs, boots, chaps, revenge dresses, smeared mascara, rhinestone tears - or whatever the f*ck makes you feel hot.
Doors swing open at 7pm at The Boogaloo, which fills up with a scorchin’ crowd, happy hour drinks, Holy Joe’s pizza deals, stolen glances, questionable decisions, and mingling aplenty.
At 8pm, when the dust settles, we two-step straight into line dancing with Queer Line Dance Club - no experience needed.
By 9pm, it’s showtime: a deliciously camp, heartbreak-soaked western cabaret for anyone who’s ever loved too hard, texted their ex, blocked their ex, unblocked their ex, or simply needed a little theatrical healing.
Then we tear up the floor to sad-girl anthems, revenge bangers and boot-stompin’ classics from Cowboy Carter, Chappell Roan, CMAT, Kacey Musgraves, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Ke$ha, Shania Twain, The Chicks, and ofc Dolly.
Come cry, flirt and dance it out.
HEARTBREAK. HONKY TONK. HEALING.
