BROADWAY WORLD REVIEW

You're A Catch! Why Are You Single? Like me, you may have been asking yourself this question for quite some time. However, in this instance, I am not referring to my own disastrous love life, or even perhaps potential narcissistic personality traits. What I am referring to is a new 60-minute, one-act, song cycle written by Sarah Wynen, called You're A Catch! Why Are You Single? This laugh-out-loud show recently played at Theatre Works, as part of this year's Melbourne Fringe Festival.

Wynen’s writing is incredibly sharp and witty; expertly brought to life by the cast. At no point does the dialogue feel stale, forced or cliché. The majority of the scenarios Wynen concocted are goofy and light-hearted, but the heavier moments give the show a great sense of balance. Combining each of the core monologues with a complimentary song ensures that You’re a Catch! Why Are You Single? is a smooth flowing rollercoaster of emotions from beginning to end.
