LET IT OUT
BRAND NEW TRACK RELEASED ON VIDEO, PERFORMED BY
DANIELLE STEERS AS EARTH and MORGAN GREGORY AS HUMANITY
Producers Vicky Graham, Birmingham Hippodrome, and Aria Entertainment are delighted to announce the release of “Let It Out” an exclusive video of one of the tracks of the multi-award-winning 5-star new musical Hot Mess, starting previews tomorrow, Saturday 13 June at The Other Palace, and running until Sunday 6 September 2026, with a national press night on Tuesday 23 June 2026.
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.
Let it Out takes place right on the cusp of the Industrial Revolution. Earth and Humanity's relationship has hit its first rocky patch, with Humanity's ambitious plans exhausting Earth’s supplies. In this song, Earth decides to offer some additional resources buried underground - fossil fuels - which just might be the answer to all their problems...

HOT MESS
Returning to the role of ‘Earth’ is Danielle Steers (Just for One Day, Six the Musical, Bat Out of Hell) following her acclaimed performances in the show’s sell-out Edinburgh Fringe premiere and subsequent Southwark Playhouse transfer. Joining the company as ‘Humanity’ is Morgan Gregory, whose recent theatre credits include The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, UK tour, Back to the Future, original West End cast at the Adelphi, 42 Balloons, Lowry, and Newsies, Troubadour Wembley Park.
Also joining the company are Mia Quimpo (Pippin, Upstairs at the Gatehouse) as cover ‘Earth’ and Nathan Shaw (Mamma Mia! The Party, and The Rocky Horror Show UK and International tour) as cover ‘Humanity’.
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 descends into a hot mess.
An original pop musical about love, hope, and the ultimate break up.
Danielle Steers’ theatre credits include Just For One Day (The Old Vic), The Cher Show UK Tour, Six the Musical (West End), Bat out of Hell (New York City Center/West End/Toronto), Sweet Charity (Donmar Warehouse) and Beautiful – The Carole King Musical (West End).
Morgan Gregory’s theatre credits include Freaky Friday (HOME Manchester), The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical (The Other Palace), 42 Balloons (The Lowry), Newsies (Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre), Elf the Musical (Dominion Theatre) and Back to the Future: The Musical (Original West End Cast).
Following its world premiere at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025 and subsequent London transfer to Southwark Playhouse last September, the show has quickly become one of the most exciting new British musicals, winning a Fringe First Award, the Popcorn Writing Award and Musical Theatre Review’s Best Musical Award, alongside widespread critical acclaim.
The production features music supervision and co-orchestrations by Joe Beighton, choreography by Alexzandra Sarmiento, set design by Shankho Chaudhuri, lighting design by Ryan Joseph Stafford, audio production and sound design by Paul Gatehouse, costume design by Sarah Mercadé, musical direction by Sara De Sanctis, casting by Pearson Casting CDG and intimacy coordination by Lex Kaby.
