Oh, and on a completely unrelated note, they also happen to be musical theatre writers looking for an important subject matter to make their next show about.
From the writers of SIX, Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, comes WHY AM I SO SINGLE? – a Big Fancy Musical where two friends’ lonely little lives are transformed into an all-singing, all-dancing extravaganza about love, dating, friendship, and … bees. Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss are ‘the future of musical theatre’ according to Vogue (omigosh thanks vogue we love your work too xoxo). Plus, TIME 100 says they’ve ‘broken barriers in theatre’, which was v kind of them.
