The internationally acclaimed music artist and record producer MNEK has been announced as part of the powerhouse music production team of the highly anticipated new West End musical, WHY AM I SO SINGLE? From Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, the multi-award-winning writers of SIX the Musical,

T Future Cut and MNEK bring their popstar experience and unrivalled producing talent to the team, bringing to life high quality pop numbers in WHY AM I SO SINGLE? at the Garrick Theatre!

This new production from Marlow and Moss follows two best friends through the ups, and mostly downs, of their dating lives in the era of Tinder (and Bumble and Grindr and Hinge). This hilarious big fancy musical will have audiences grabbing their best mates or a hot date and heading to the West End this autumn!

       

Jo Foster (& Juliet; Just For One Day, West End) and Leesa Tulley (SIX, UK tour; Kin, Theatro Technis) play the leading – and eternally single – besties. They are joined by Noah Thomas (Everything Now, Netflix; Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, West End), who plays the honest friend we all love and need in our lives.

The alternate Oliver and Nancy are Jordan Cambridge-Taylor (Schwartz at 75, Lyric Theatre) and Collette Guitart (Just For One Day, Old Vic). The ensemble cast are Jemima Brown (Critics’ Circle National Dance Award-nominated, Tom Dale Company), Josh Butler (Bronco Billy, Charing Cross Theatre), Natasha Leaver (Hamilton, West End), Ran Marner (Jack and the Beanstalk, Imagine Theatre), Jamel Matthias and Olivia O’Connor in their professional and West End debuts, Joshian Angelo Omaña (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, West End), Natasha Wilde (42 Balloons, The Lowry) and Rhys Wilkinson (Just For One Day, Old Vic).

WHY AM I SO SINGLE? features a score of original songs by the dynamic, award-winning writing team of Marlow & Moss. From catchy pop songs that you won’t be able to stop singing, hilarious pastiches of well-known musicals, dazzling disco anthems and orchestral epics his new musical comedy is a love letter to ‘the messy, magical lives of the city’s unmatched and unattached’ (Vogue). As a treat for fans as the show opens, one of the catchy numbers from the soundtrack, C U Never, is being released as a rehearsal video on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts.

MNEK is a Grammy and Brit Award-nominated singer/songwriter and producer, who has worked with Beyoncé, Stormzy, Selena Gomez, Dua Lipa, Madonna and FLO among many others, with hits including Blinded By Your Grace, Ready For Your Love and The Lead. He has been a coach and guest judge on Ru Paul’s Drag Race, and established a songwriting camp for LGBTQ+ singer/songwriters with Pride in Music, and contributes to the Guardian UK diversity panel. They are part of the amazing music production team of WHY AM I SO SINGLE?, including orchestrations, vocal arrangements and musical supervision by Grammy and Olivier Award-nominated Joe Beighton (SIX the Musical, West End; 42 Balloons, The Lowry), and music production and additional orchestrations by Future Cut (Rihanna, Shakira, Lily Allen, Tom Jones).
