Why Am I So Single? – first look at new West End musical from Six creators

Take a look at the brand new musical Why Am I So Single? as it prepares for its opening night in the West End.

Penned by Six creators Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, the show follows two writers struggling to write a second musical while also embroiled in romantic woes.

Leading the show is Jo Foster (& Juliet, Just For One Day), who returns from the show’s early workshop, alongside Leesa Tulley (Six, Kin). Noah Thomas (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie) joins them in a supporting role on stage. The alternate leads are Jordan Cambridge-Taylor (Schwartz at 75) and Collette Guitart (Just For One Day).

The ensemble cast are Critics’ Circle National Dance Award-nominee Jemima Brown, Josh Butler (Bronco Billy), Natasha Leaver (Hamilton), Ran Marner (Jack and the Beanstalk), Joshian Angelo Omaña (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie), Natasha Wilde (42 Balloons), Rhys Wilkinson (Just For One Day) and Jamel Matthias and Olivia O’Connor in their professional and West End debuts.
