Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss did it again. Bringing in a new wave of musical theatre, the unspeakably talented duo wowed the world with their debut show SIX The Musical. Their follow up was another absolute corker - the incredibly relatable Why Am I So Single? And now, despite no longer playing at the Garrick Theatre, it is an Olivier nominee! The show will be battling out with The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, MJ the Musical and Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 for Best New Musical.
The show follows two musical theatre writers struggling with dating and the single life. Loosely autobiographical, it’s a hilarious and humble tale of modern courtship and platonic love. It’s made singles say: “oh my God, same” and marrieds say: “thank god we don’t have to do *that* anymore.”
Almost immediately after opening, one of the Why Am I So Single? songs - 8 Dates - went viral on TikTok and is still used as a “get ready with me” banger. And the show’s other numbers are just as catchy and witty. So, before you have a shower, style your hair, spend an hour on what to wear, find out more about the Why Am I So Single? songs below.
