What is Why Am I So Single? about?

Why Am I So Single? is an original musical by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, the creators of the smash hit Six. The show follows two best friends, Oliver and Nancy, as they try to write a musical about the one thing they cannot figure out: why they are perpetually single. Blending meta-theatrical comedy with genuine emotional depth, the musical explores modern dating, friendship, self-worth, and the stories we tell ourselves about love.

The production is vibrant, modern, and unafraid to tackle the real anxieties of dating in the age of apps. If Six reinvented the historical musical, this show does the same for the romantic comedy.
