About Hot Mess the Musical
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.

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.
