Award-winning new musical HOT MESS returns to London this summer
It has been announced that the multi-award-winning five-star new musical Hot Mess will return to London this summer for a strictly limited season at The Other Palace, running from 13 June - 6 September.
Following its world premiere at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025 and subsequent London transfer to Southwark Playhouse last September, the show has quickly become one of the most exciting new British musicals, winning a Fringe First Award, the Popcorn Writing Award and Musical Theatre Review’s Best Musical Award, alongside widespread critical acclaim.
Created by the award-winning duo behind 42 Balloons, Jack Godfrey and Ellie Coote, Hot Mess is a high-energy original romcom that reimagines the climate crisis as a turbulent love story between Earth and Humanity.
After a billion years of bad dates, Earth has finally found the one… Humanity. Sparks fly. Seeds are sown. Ground is broken. But what begins as a passionate love affair between the universe’s most iconic couple quickly descends into a hot mess.
An original pop musical about love, hope, and the ultimate break up.
Jack Godfrey and Ellie Coote said: “We are over the moon that Hot Mess will be coming to The Other Palace this summer! We’ve been hard at work developing and expanding the show since its run at the Edinburgh Fringe last year, and we can’t wait to share the story of Earth and Humanity’s messy romance with audiences again very soon!”
Full casting and creative team to be announced soon.
