There’s Nothing Left to Prove: Inside Already Perfect
Episode 3
Thursday, 22 January, 2026

In this episode, Darren and Natalie dive into the UK premiere of Already Perfect, the new folk-rock musical now playing at King’s Head Theatre.Written by Tony Award-winner Levi Kreis, Already Perfect is an intimate, soul-infused piece that unfolds in a Broadway dressing room on the brink of collapse - where past and present collide in a raw, often funny reckoning with identity, addiction, faith and self-worth.Natalie sits down with the show’s creator and star Levi Kreis, alongside producer Larry Lelli and director Dave Solomon, to talk about the deeply personal origins of the piece, translating lived experience into musical theatre, and why this story of self-acceptance feels more urgent than ever. They discuss the show’s gospel-tinged score, its emotional honesty, and the challenge of balancing intimacy with theatrical scale.Alongside the interview, Darren and Natalie share their critical response to the production, from the standout performances and striking design to the conversations the show is provoking with audiences.
