The multi award-winning new musical Hot Mess will return to London this summer for a strictly limited season at The Other Palace.
The Birmingham Hippodrome production, presented by Vicky Graham Productions, Birmingham Hippodrome and Aria Entertainment, will run from Saturday 13 June to Sunday 6 September 2026, with a press night on Tuesday 23 June.
The high-energy original romantic comedy was created by Jack Godfrey and Ellie Coote, the award-winning duo behind 42 Balloons.
Hot Mess reimagines the climate crisis as a turbulent love story between Earth and Humanity, blending a pop-infused score with sharp, unapologetically funny writing.
The musical premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2025 before transferring to Southwark Playhouse, where it sold out and went on to win a Fringe First Award and the Popcorn Writing Award. It was also named Theatre Weekly’s Best Musical of Edinburgh Fringe 2025.
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!”
The producers added: “We are immensely proud to be bringing Hot Mess to London for a 12-week season this summer and giving audiences another chance to experience Jack and Ellie’s sharp, fresh and unapologetically funny writing. We can’t wait to share further details of the production, to build on the success of the premiere and original cast album and lift the roof off The Other Palace this summer.”
Full casting and the creative team will be announced at a later date.
