Toby Marlow & Lucy Moss’ new big fancy musical is heading to the West End

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?, which plays at London’s Garrick Theatre from 27 August 2024 – 13 February 2025.

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). This musical extravaganza about love, dating, friendship – and bees – explores the weird and wonderful hilariousness of being single.

A celebration of friendship and love, WHY AM I SO SINGLE? asks how two super interesting, super cool, super fun pals could possibly still be single?!? This extraordinary and totally unexplainable situation faced by our fabulous duo is made even more complicated by the fact that, on a completely unrelated note, they also need to find a really great topic for their next musical.

Lead casting has been revealed, with Jo Foster (& Juliet; Just For One Day, West End) returning from the show’s early workshop to co-star in this epic musical for the ages. They will be seen alongside the newly cast Leesa Tulley (SIX, UK Tour; Kin, Theatro Technis) as their BFF. Together, they will navigate the difficult modern dating world and how to flirt with your Deliveroo driver, all with their best friend firmly by their side. They are joined on stage by Noah Thomas (Everything Now, Netflix; Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, West End). Ensemble casting is to be announced.

Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss said: “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!!!!”

WHY AM I SO SINGLE? is directed by Lucy Moss, with choreography by Ellen Kane, orchestrations, vocal arrangements and musical supervision by Joe Beighton, set design by Moi Tran, costumes by Max Johns, lighting by Jai Morjaria, sound by Paul Gatehouse, and and casting by Harry Blumenau and Sarah-Jane Price from Harry Blumenau Casting.
