Olivier Award winner Layton Williams brings his stage tour marking the 20th anniversary of his debut to the Derby Theatre.
Layton Williams is coming to the Derby Theatre on Friday 26 February 2027, as part of a nationwide tour marking the 20th anniversary of his stage debut. He's an Olivier Award winner and a Tony Award nominee, and this show is built around that two-decade stretch from his first professional role to where he is now.
It's a musical tour of his career, and the list of shows he's been in reads like a who's who of the West End. He'll be drawing on Billy Elliot, Cabaret, Hairspray, Everybody's Talking About Jamie, and Titanique, and he'll be talking about his time in the Bad Education classroom and on the Strictly ballroom floor too. The set is built from those roles, with the songs and the stories he's picked up along the way. He's not on his own, either — he's supported by a company of artists.
