FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Why Am I So Single?
Marlow and Moss' new Gen-Z musical has huge potential but needs further work
6 / 10
Comparison to SIX is inevitable, even though what the two shows are trying to do is completely different. While SIX is laser-sharp with not a wasted moment, by contrast, Why Am I So Single? feels somewhat flabby. It's hard to think of anyone who would not enjoy SIX, while this show is so deliberately focused on Gen-Z, it risks excluding other generations who will simply miss its very specific jokes and references. Perhaps that is the point.
‘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.
