Why Am I So Single? - Garrick

Thread title changed again. If the best “buzz” they can create about this is speculation what the damned thing is called then that doesn’t bode well for the actual show.

Same. Nice to see a show with such decent discounts for previews which seems rare now. £65 top price seat for previews vs £110 after!

They’ve announced it’s Why Am I So Single.
I saw it in workshop in the summer, thoroughly enjoyed it. Music was really great, very funny & some real standout moments. I’m excited for it’s west end run!

Did the workshops show any indication of this being either big or fancy?

Same. £35 for a good seat in the Stalls seems worth a risk. Thanks for the link.

It’s not too adult as far as I remember. There’s a few F words.

Does anyone know what might fill the summer gap between For Black Boys and this? Can't run for long so I'd imagine maybe a transfer?

I'd say the pricing is about standard for the West End. Market forces will dictate whether there are deals, Rush, dynamic pricing etc.

The big plus here is the £35 for previews deal.

Incidentally (current front) row BB was not available for most performances when I booked yesterday. It is now and there are £35 seats there through to mid September.

On a different note, I thought Bennington was great on the workshop and it's a huge loss not to have her for the run.

Don't be so harsh to Netflix, some of their teen movies are fun! 👀😂

The whole concept plays on them trying to write a “big fancy musical”. A musical, about writing a musical, about why am I so single, if that makes sense. In the book there were lots of clever references to other musicals too.


I guess it’s also made more “musical” compared to Six with an ensemble & big dance numbers. The workshop costumes were minimal but that may have been just for the workshop and I can see space for big glitzy costumes in parts for sure.
