Guy, a shy and overweight millennial, is failing in the departments of mates and dates and fun – dating apps can be cruel if you don’t look like a model. When he’s ghosted by his Romeo, he tries to follow the latest 11-step listicle to get noticed: diets, exercise regimes, and a new wardrobe… but can he resist the temptation of being someone else when the chance is literally at his fingertips?Â
Starring The X-Factor finalist Seann Miley Moore, GUY is a game-changing gay rom-com for the 2010s. The remaining exciting cast are: Adam Braidley, Brendan Matthew and Steve Banks. With nakedly honest characters, Guy is an unapologetically moving portrayal of the hook-ups and downs of 21st-century dating and a thought-provoking glimpse behind the veil of modern masculinity, male beauty standards, and unspoken prejudices within marginal communities. Tied together with a pioneering and infectiously catchy electronic score, GUY channels floor-filling EDM anthems, indie electronica, queer hip-hop, and PC Music with the lyrical charm of Sondheim, and the earworm melodies of Schwartz.
GUY: A New Musical is at The Bunker Theatre during The Breaking Out Season every Wednesday and Saturday – 8:30pm.Â
