Summary

It’s time to Live, Laugh, Layton!

This week - Emily and Ray are in Dulwich Park with actor, singer, dancer and Strictly Come Dancing finalist Layton Williams!

Layton is quite possibly one of the most charismatic people that we’ve ever met. He’s immensely warm, authentic and knows his own worth - so even though he doesn’t have a dog, we’re pretty much in love!

Starting life out on an estate in Bury, Layton went on to play the lead role in the West End production of Billy Elliot. Layton tells us about moving to London - LONDON ?! - and how it felt when he had his voice break while playing a young Michael Jackson in Thriller.

Layton’s next project is playing the Iceberg in Titanique. When the music of Céline Dion meets the eleven-time Oscar®-winning film Titanic, you get TITANIQUE - New York’s award-winning splash hit that turns one of the greatest love stories of all time into a hysterical musical fantasia. You can get your tickets here!
