CALLING ALL THE LADIES, GAYDIES and THEYDIES...
...grab a hot date for our World Premiere at the Garrick Theatre this Autumn!!!
Ever asked yourself how you could possibly be single when you’re soooo cool, interesting, and fun?!?! (dw neither have we).
That’s the situation faced by two best pals in WHY AM I SO SINGLE? Join them as they drink/eat/cry/laugh through their attempt to answer the impossible question of why they are so single?!
From the writers of SIX, Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, comes a brand-new British musical where the lonely little lives of two BFFs are transformed into an all-singing, all-dancing extravaganza about dates, mates, and celebrating love in all its forms.
Book now if you’re literally anyone who is single, looking, or happily partnered (no judgement x).

The show’s deft brilliance is in the lyrics of its songs. Eight Dates, about the brutal ghostings and last-minute cancellations rife in online dating, bottles the phenomenon superbly, while Meet Market, with its takedown of dating profile clichés (likely to be lost on anyone who’s never swiped to find romantic connection), and C U Never, with its tap-dancing chorus and clever incorporation of texting sound effects into the score, are further highlights.
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.
