Already Perfect by Levi Kreis
9th January - 15th February
Tony Award winner Levi Kreis (Jerry Lee Lewis in Million Dollar Quartet, Original Broadway Cast; Hermes in Hadestown, US Tour) stars in Already Perfect, a raw and unexpectedly funny new musical. Levi hits his breaking point backstage as a recent diagnosis has him trying to end it all. When Ben, Levi’s long time friend and sponsor, saves him from relapse, Levi is forced to confront his demons - and his younger self. Through music and theatrical magic, the past and present collide - risking annihilation or reconciliation. Honest and defiantly hopeful, what follows is an upbeat and contagious musical journey with humor that helps us land on a radical simplicity: there is nothing to prove - you’re already perfect.
Blink by Phil Porter
19th February - 22nd March
This is a story about seeing and being seen. About watching and being watched. And about love. Sophie has just lost a parent. So has Jonah. Sophie has just inherited quite a lot of money. So has Jonah. After a series of uncanny coincidences, the pair find themselves living on top of one another, in two small flats in Leytonstone. Then on a whim, Sophie mails Jonah a baby monitor connected to her flat. And he starts to watch her. Reading. Playing video games. Eating. Watching TV. Without ever coming face to face, something almost like love starts to bloom between them. A bittersweet rom-com for the digital age, Blink stars Abigail Thorn (PhilosophyTube, House of the Dragon, Star Wars: The Acolyte; The Prince, Southwark Playhouse).

Derrière On a G String by Some Smith & Moore
6th May - 7th June
Very fun, quite silly, and rather naughty; this new comedy gleefully subverts the best loved pieces of classical music in ways you’ve never thought of them before. With a relatable and familiar comedic style ranging from the likes of Laurel and Hardy to Mitchell and Webb, Derrière on a G String comments, without words, on the daily struggles of modern life. From chaos and carnage to homoerotic romp, this original series of dance and physical theatre sketches by Some Smith and Moore is an evening to expect the unexpected. The show stars Sammy Moore (Disney's Evermoor)
What’s Wrong with Angry? by Patrick Wilde
10th June - 5th July
Before Heartstopper, Sex Education, and Love, Simon, came Patrick Wilde’s award-winning play, What’s Wrong With Angry?. Set against a Hi-NRG soundtrack, What’s Wrong With Angry? candidly explores the challenges faced by two schoolboys, Steven Carter and John Westhead, as they grapple with their sexuality under the dark shadow of Thatcher’s Local Government Act of 1988, Section 28 prohibiting the “promotion of homosexuality in schools” and starting a 15-year period of what’s been described as "state-sponsored homophobia". This new revival, running over Pride Month, will be directed by Scott Le Crass.
Here Comes J. Edgar! A Comedy Musical by Harry Shearer, Tom Leopold, & Peter Matz
10th July - 16th August
For 50 years, the USA’s FBI was headed by one of the most controversial figures in history. His name was J. Edgar Hoover. As he lies on his deathbed, Hoover’s life flashes before him in the form of a 1950s Broadway musical. Here Comes J. Edgar! is an irrepressible musical comedy about the love of power and the power of love. This new musical comedy, written by the legendary Harry Shearer (The Simpsons, Spinal Tap) and Tom Leopold (Cheers, Seinfeld) with music composed by Peter Matz (Barbara Streisand, Burt Bacharach), tells the weird, twisted story of Hoover's wild career and secret lifelong gay love affair.
We hope to see you at KHT soon!
