Cast Album Announced for UK Musical Sensation Hot Mess
Following a whirlwind year that saw Hot Mess ignite audiences at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and light up the stage at Southwark Playhouse Elephant, the full and official cast album for this smash hit is landing on Friday 12th December – get ready to download Hot Mess (A New Musical): Original Cast Recording.
Brimming with the musical’s trademark wit, warmth and dangerously catchy pop bangers, the album with 13 tracks captures all the energy and heart that made Hot Mess the must-see new musical of 2025. After a billion years of bad dates, Earth’s finally found the one… Humanity. Sparks fly. Wheat is harvested. Technology flourishes. But what begins as a passionate love affair between the universe’s most iconic couple quickly descends into a Hot Mess. Now, the ultimate soundtrack is here just in time for Christmas.
With West End powerhouses Danielle Steers and Tobias Turley in their roles as Earth and Humanity, the cast album delivers a front-row sleigh ride through the universe’s most iconic relationship. From star-crossed beginnings to climate-crisis chaos, Hot Mess is from the award-winning duo behind 42 Balloons – Jack Godfrey and Ellie Coote – and has been praised for its irresistible score. Now audiences everywhere can bring home the magic; it’s the album for anyone whose love life – much like the climate – gets a little heated around the holidays.
Writers Jack Godfrey and Ellie Coote comment, We’re absolutely over the moon to be releasing the Original Cast Recording ofHot Mess. It’s been a joy to work with world-class collaborators Joe Beighton and Sam Featherstone to produce the record and capture the unbelievable vocal performances of Danielle Steers and Tobias Turley. After the incredible reaction toHot Mess this year at the Edinburgh Fringe, in Birmingham and London, we can’t wait for more people to discover the love story of Earth and Humanity through this album.
Whether you’re reliving the show or discovering it for the first time, the Hot Mess Cast Album is full of soaring duets, heart-thumping anthems and the emotional punch that has made the show a runaway hit.
