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 writers of SIX, Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, comes WHY AM I SO SINGLE? - a Big Fancy Musical where two friends' lonely little lives are transformed into an all-singing, all-dancing extravaganza about love, dating, friendship, and ... bees. Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss are ‘the future of musical theatre’ according to Vogue (omigosh thanks vogue we love your work too xoxo). Plus, TIME 100 says they’ve ‘broken barriers in theatre’, which was v kind of them.

Your definitive guide to the Why Am I So Single songs
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.

Garrick Theatre Best Seats and Seating Plan
Opening in 1889, the Garrick Theatre was named after David Garrick, an English actor, playwright, theatre manager and producer. He was a major influence on 18th Century European theatrical practice. The Garrick theatre has mostly been associated in its lifetime with comedies and comedy-dramas – notably No Sex Please, We’re British which played for four years and the multi-award-winning production of JB Preistley’s An Inspector Calls in 1995.
What are the best seats at the Garrick Theatre?
The Garrick’s auditorium is split over three levels, consisting of the Stalls, Dress Circle and Grand Circle. The Stalls give an unobstructed view of the stage from most areas, although there is a slight restriction from Row N backwards due to the overhang of the Dress Circle. There are clear views from all seats in the Dress Circle and Grand Circle.
