The marketing felt a little lacking, which honestly surprised me because this is such a good show. I’m not quite sure why it still feels so under the radar — with a bit more visibility, I think it could find a much bigger audience. By the end, the whole audience was on its feet. I laughed, I cried, and I genuinely left feeling happy. It also made me miss my late husband more than I expected. I’d absolutely recommend this show. If you haven’t seen it yet, go.

A beautiful and heartfelt story about love, memory and letting go. The two performers were wonderful, and the music worked beautifully alongside the story. It’s an intimate show that is both moving and thought-provoking. I went in not really knowing what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much the story stayed with me afterwards. A lovely show to see and talk about with others.

You&It runs for about 80 minutes, and what struck me most was how much potential it still has. There are a few gaps in the storytelling that could be developed further, but that also makes the piece exciting — you can really see how much bigger and stronger it could become. More than anything, I think this is a show that needs to exist right now. Its questions about AI, grief, memory, love and whether someone can truly be replaced feel incredibly relevant. I’ve heard people say the music feels a bit samey, but to me that’s much more of an arrangement issue than a songwriting one. With a fuller band — especially more percussion and acoustic guitar — the score could feel much richer. It may not be completely there yet, but the potential is huge. 5 stars for that potential.

A beautiful and deeply moving show. The two performers are outstanding, bringing such warmth and honesty to a story about love, grief and artificial intelligence. The music is gorgeous, and the production is intimate yet visually striking. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was completely drawn in and found myself thinking about it long after the final curtain. A real hidden gem—highly recommended.

I expected a musical about AI to feel quite cold or technology-driven, but You & It is really much more about grief, memory and what remains after losing someone you love. The chemistry between the two performers is very strong, and the intimacy of the theatre makes every expression and emotional shift feel immediate. The music follows the two characters’ emotions with great sensitivity, gently deepening each moment without overwhelming it. I also liked the way certain moments take on a different meaning later in the story. By the end, I found myself thinking about whether someone with the same memories could ever truly be the same person. I laughed more than I expected, and I cried more than I expected too. It’s not a flashy musical, but one that draws you quietly into the relationship between these two people and stays with you afterwards.

I went into You&It knowing very little about it — only that it was a Korean musical about AI, love and grief. With so many stories about artificial intelligence around at the moment, I expected something fairly familiar. Instead, the show felt much more interested in people than technology. At its heart, it asks what happens when we refuse to let go of someone we’ve lost, and whether a digital recreation could ever replace the person we loved. The intimate two-hander works beautifully at the King’s Head Theatre, where every expression and silence feels close. Frances Mayli McCann has a magnetic presence, but the real strength is the changing relationship between the two characters and a score with some genuinely lovely, lyrical moments. It’s still in previews, and a few sections could be tightened, but the show already has a clear identity. Small in scale, thoughtful and quietly affecting, it left me genuinely curious to see where the piece might go in its next production.
