Hot Mess
Music & lyrics by Jack Godfrey · Book & direction by Ellie Coote
An original pop musical that turns the climate crisis into a romantic comedy, casting Earth and Humanity as a couple whose whirlwind romance starts to fall apart. From the writers of 42 Balloons, it won a Scotsman Fringe First and the Popcorn Writing Award at the 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, then played two London runs.
