Layton Williams will embark on a tour from February 23 to April 4, 2027, visiting over 20 towns and cities across the UK. His LAYTON LIVE tour will include stops in Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Birmingham, Cardiff, and Sheffield. It will conclude with a major performance at the Adelphi Theatre in London on Sunday, April 4, 2027. This marks an exciting new chapter for one of British entertainment’s most recognisable performers.
LAYTON LIVE is an extraordinary, high-energy celebration of Layton Williams’ remarkable 20-year career, featuring powerful vocals, stunning choreography, storytelling, and behind-the-scenes insights that audiences have never heard before.
Layton Williams made his professional debut as Billy Elliot in the West End at just 12 years old. Since then, he has become an Olivier Award winner and a Tony Award nominee, building a career that spans some of the biggest stages and screens in the UK and beyond.
The show will take audiences on a whirlwind journey through the defining roles and moments of his career. Highlights include performances from Billy Elliot, Hairspray, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, Cabaret, Titanique, and his contributions to Bad Education, Strictly Come Dancing, as well as his work in television and film.
Audiences can expect show-stopping musical numbers, spectacular dancing, plenty of laughs, and an honest glimpse behind the scenes at two decades spent growing up in the spotlight.
Layton’s career has taken him from the West End to Broadway, earning accolades such as three Black British Theatre Awards, a WhatsOnStage Award, an Olivier Award for Titanique, and a Tony Award nomination for the show’s Broadway transfer.
Away from performing, Layton is the founder of Pros From The Shows, providing professional performing arts experiences for young people through his acclaimed Slay Clubs and is a passionate advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community.
This is an exciting time for Layton as he prepares for LAYTON LIVE, following his recent performance as King Herod in the production of Jesus Christ Superstar at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. Tickets are available now.
