Levi Kreis’ Already Perfect musical at the King’s Head Theatre – first listen

Take a first listen to Levi Kreis in the UK premiere of Already Perfect, which opens at the King’s Head Theatre in January 2026.

The musical is written by Kreis, who stars alongside Killian Thomas Lefevre and Yiftach “Iffy” Mizrahi.

It follows a performer on the brink as he prepares for the filming of his Broadway show. A visit from his sponsor prompts an encounter with his younger self, setting off a confrontation between past and present.

Kreis won a Tony Award for playing Jerry Lee Lewis in Million Dollar Quartet on Broadway and has also appeared in Violet, Hadestown, and Rent. His screen credits include Frailty, The Divide and A Very Sordid Wedding, and he has released 11 albums. Already Perfect marks his debut as a musical theatre writer.
