Review: WHY AM I SO SINGLE?, Garrick Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Sep 12, 2024

Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss' new show Why Am I So Single? is billed as 'A big fancy musical'. Bright, bold and funny, it is unashamedly focused on the Gen-Z experience, but gets lost with indulgent in-jokes, repetition and an over-long running time.

BWW Review: OVERFLOW, Bush Theatre
by Charlie Wilks - Dec 10, 2020

When Rosie is confined and cornered into a flooding toilet cubicle, she is determined to rescue herself from the situation for once.
