This Satirical Musical explores the role of social media in reality TV, making comment on anonymous hate and influencer culture. It also delves into the patriarchal nature of dating shows, and the stereotypes they cultivate. It also satirises the genre of Musical Theatre, commenting on how cliches can lead to predictability in the stories that are presented to us in the media.
