Grab a hot date for the World Premiere of a big fancy musical at the Garrick Theatre this Autumn!!!

Imagine being soooo cool, interesting, and fun - and yet, somehow, finding yourself perpetually single...!?  That’s the extraordinary and unique situation faced by two best pals in WHY AM I SO SINGLE?……Oh, and on a completely unrelated note, they also happen to be musical theatre writers looking for an important subject matter to make their next show about!

From the multi-award-winning writers of SIX, Toby Marlow & Lucy Moss, comes their all-new, highly anticipated second musical, WHY AM I SO SINGLE? This Big Fancy Musical follows two besties through the ups, and mostly downs, of their dating lives in the era of Tinder (and Bumble and Grindr and Hinge and Feeld). A musical extravaganza about love, dating, friendship – and bees – explores the weird and wonderful hilariousness of being single, bringing the epic highs and hard-hurting lows of dating to the stage and tapping into something everyone has experienced at one time or another.

Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss comment, This is ultimately a musical about two friends, their desire for love, and how they deal with loneliness. We hope people come away feeling super uplifted. And we hope they text someone the second they leave the theatre saying ‘omigosh just fyi i love you soooo much!!!!’

Lead casting has been announced with Jo Foster (& Juliet; Just For One Day, West End;) and Leesa Tulley (SIX, UK Tour; Kin, Theatro Technis) as our two BFFs. Jo and Leesa are joined on stage by Noah Thomas (Everything Now, Netflix; Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, West End).

WHY AM I SO SINGLE? is set to dazzle the dating world this autumn - you do not want to miss it! So book now if you’re literally anyone who is single, looking, or happily partnered (no judgement x).

WHY AM I SO SINGLE?  27th August 2024 – 13th February 2025
