The result is a surprisingly funny and revealing story. The first half sets the scene and lays the groundwork in establishing who Oliver and Nancy are. It takes an irreverent look at their friendship and their mutually disastrous dating lives. It’s a mordaciously funny, pointed, and self-deprecating look at youth culture and teen dating in a digital first, excessive options, and instant gratification society.

We’re given a high energy look at their exciting party-led lifestyles. However, as we move into the second act, a virtual mirror is held up to them both and self-assessment sets in. What they really want, is something that’s eluding them both, a relationship.

What is wrong with them? Why can they not hold down a relationship? Why do they attract the wrong type of people?

The frivolity and joy of the first act noticeably shifts to something more reflective and sombre. Whilst notes of humour are present, the comedy is firmly on the back burner as the pair come to some important and poignant realisations about themselves and their friendship.

There are many joys to Why Am I So Single?  It’s wildly bright, camp and wonderfully exuberant. The story is mildly convoluted, but refreshingly new and engaging. The songs, for the main, are just what you need. Anchored in the musical theatre genre, they also very much of today. Much like SIX, the soundtrack is modern and fresh but also immediately engaging. The lyrics effectively drive forward or add to the narrative but, crucially, keep the mood of the moment firmly in mind, be that humour, reflection, or anger.

The show is co-directed by Moss with choreographer Ellen Kane and rounded off with Moi Tran’s set design that, all combined, gives a gloriously inventive and vibrant presentation. Whoever came up with the idea of using supporting cast members as furnishings in Oliver’s flat, delivered a masterstroke of creativity.
