A magical fairy delivers gas in a very different way from the one common in Taiwan – wearing high heels and with a healthy dose of glitter. Her arrival changes the life of Jojo, a lonely 10-year-old who dreams of dancing. Cast out by classmates and misunderstood by his strict single mother, Jojo allows himself to be inspired by his propane-using fairy godmother. Tank Fairy is a musical extravaganza that encourages you to embrace your authentic self.
