BROADWAY WORLD REVIEW
October 16th, 2022
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.

Just how fraught is the dating scene?
A sea of vipers, low lifes and misfits, according to an impressive and evocative work from writer and music director Sarah Wynen (who also co-directs with Simon McWilliam).

With a smattering of humour, heartfelt gesticulations, riotous tap dancing and some R-rated props, a range of thoughts, ponderings and crushing disappointments are canvased and conveyed.
October 6th, 2022
You’re a Catch! Why Are You Single? is a superbly made musical work that seamlessly blends spoken word, song and dance to explore what it means to search for meaningful connection in the modern world.

ONYA MAGAZINE REVIEW
February 18th, 2022
"You’re a Catch! Why are you Single? pulled off a fabulous debut at the newly launched arts venue, The Motley Bauhaus in Carlton. The show captures the hurt, joy and frustration that is different for every person looking for love and wraps it up in an unique musical number for your own cathartic enjoyment."
January 13th, 2022
"You’re a Catch! Why are you Single? is a song cycle, which means it’s a collection of songs and monologues that all follow the same theme: loneliness and looking for love. Rather than having a continuous plot, this musical is a series of mini stories – think Love Actually, or Sondheim’s Company."
