Hot Mess is playing a strictly limited London season at The Other Palace from June 2026, with tickets now on sale.

Direct from a smash-hit season at the Edinburgh Fringe, Hot Mess comes to The Other Palace London for a limited run.

From the acclaimed creators of 42 Balloons, Jack Godfrey and Ellie Coote, Hot Mess is a bold and original pop musical about love, hope, and the ultimate breakup.

A fabulous cast features Danielle Steers (Six The Musical, Just For One Day) as Earth, and Morgan Gregory (Back to the Future, The Lightning Thief) as Humanity.

Hot Mess runs at The Other Palace in London from 13 June to 6 September 2026, with tickets now available..

What is Hot Mess about?

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 spirals into chaos — and a spectacularly hot mess.

Packed with infectious music, sharp wit, and emotional punch, this is one of the most anticipated new London musicals.
