Directed by the multi-talented Lucy Moss herself, Why Am I So Single? showcases her skills beyond songwriting. Rising stars like Jo Foster and Leesa Tulley bring the show to life with their captivating performances, belting out hilarious dating anthems under the musical direction of the acclaimed Joe Beighton, whose work includes productions like Matilda the Musical.

Throw them into the wild world of modern dating, filled with the highs (and mostly lows) of swiping right and endless app fatigue. Why Am I So Single? is a laugh riot that follows these BFFs as they navigate the treacherous terrain of modern romance, all while desperately trying to write their next big hit. Will they find "the one" (or at least a decent first date)? Will their friendship survive the trials and tribulations of the dating scene? Book your tickets and find out if these BFFs can turn their dating disasters into musical magic.
Garrick Theatre is named after the legendary Shakespearean actor David Garrick. The theatre opened its doors in 1889, financed by none other than the famed playwright W.S. Gilbert (of Gilbert and Sullivan fame). Originally designed by Walter Emden with structural assistance from C.J. Phillips to handle the watery foundation, the Garrick nearly met its demise in 1968. A fierce campaign by the artistic community – the Musician's Union, Equity, and various theatre groups – saved the day, ensuring this grand dame of the West End continues to stage productions. From early hits like The Profligate and No Sex Please, We're British to recent successes like All on her Own and The Entertainer, the Garrick boasts a rich legacy.
