FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Why Am I So Single?
‘Why Am I So Single?’ Review: After ‘Six,’ a Scrappy, Sappy Dating Musical
5 / 10
The writers have tried to make a virtue of the show’s shortcomings, riffing on the musical’s conceptual flimsiness at various points. This might be cute in another context, but when you’re playing a hallowed venue like the Garrick, people expect a bit more polish. Just before the curtain comes down, Nancy and Oliver wonder aloud if their plot lines weren’t perhaps a bit hackneyed and whether they should have made their characters more aware of this. It’s a clever little metafictional loop, but it doesn’t solve the problem. If anything, it feels a bit like an apology.
Why Am I So Single?, Garrick Theatre review - superb songs in Zeitgeist surfing show
6 / 10
In many ways, this might be exactly the show a too often overly cautious West End needs right now and the energy in the house was good evidence for that conclusion. But some just won’t make the individual connection, they won’t see enough to invest in Why Am I So Single’s Oliver and Nancy the way they did in Kinky Boots’ Lola and Charlie, to take one example. But that was 12 years ago, and time waits for no man, no woman, no non-binary person. Least of all for Marlow and Moss, who are moving mainstream theatre on fast-forward again.
