Harvey Morton is joined by Tobias Turley and Danielle Steers, the stars of Hot Mess - the award-winning musical that’s bringing its unique climate crisis rom-com to London after sweeping five awards at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Tobias (Humanity) returns to the podcast following his Mamma Mia journey, while we welcome Danielle (Earth) for the first time as they discuss:
• How the seemingly “crazy” concept of Earth and Humanity falling in love works brilliantly on stage
• The challenges facing original musicals in London’s West End
• Why their collaborative rehearsal process has been so rewarding
• How the show addresses climate change without being preachy
• The importance of supporting new work in musical theatre
• Their Broadway ambitions for the show
Tobias also updates us on his Scene Stealers podcast, now entering its third season.
