Why Am I So Single? is a fun new queer musical with great songs – review
We’re not quite sure where to start with a show like Why Am I So Single? – it’s arrived on the West End amid much fanfare and with a huge weight of expectation.
This is the second musical from Marlow and Moss, the writers of Six, which of course is not just a runaway success in London but has toured internationally and is still enjoying a successful Broadway run too.
Comparisons are inevitable, but Marlow and Moss have not tried to replicate the formula – while Six plays out more like a pop concert, running at 80 minutes straight through and with the focus much more on the songs than on the dialogue, While Am I So Single?
is more traditional musical theatre fare, with a run time of two and a half hours (including interval) and with more of a narrative focus.
