In 'Nobody Loves You', a witty musical by Itamar Moses and Gaby Alter, the absurdities of modern dating and reality TV are humorously explored. The story follows Jeff, a recently dumped philosophy student who seeks revenge on his ex through a cringe-inducing dating show. As he navigates scripted romance, he encounters Jenny, a disillusioned producer. Their budding romance contrasts their critical views on courtship and online culture. While the musical suffers from predictability and uneven pacing, the engaging performances and sharp commentary maintain audience interest, highlighting the complexities of love in today’s digital age.
"Moses delivers the fitfully funny futility of trying to make real love connections in the age of the selfie, highlighting the superficiality of modern dating rituals."
"The sweetly genuine chemistry between Holmes and Verma is one of the most endearing aspects of this show, even when it veers into predictable territory."
