Layton Williams: Layton Live

Layton Williams brings his tour to the Royal Hall on Wednesday 24 February 2027, part of a nationwide run marking the 20th anniversary of his stage debut. He's an Olivier Award winner and Tony Award nominee, and he'll be joined on stage by a company of artists.

The show is a musical journey through the roles he's played over two decades. It starts with Billy Elliot, the West End musical where he landed his first job at twelve, and goes through Cabaret, Hairspray, Everybody's Talking About Jamie, and Titanique. It also touches on his time in the Bad Education classroom and on the Strictly ballroom floor, with stories, vocals and dance routines from across those years. If you've followed him from the West End to the screen, it's a good way to see those threads pulled together in one night.

Williams is an English actor, singer and dancer who's worked across theatre, television and the dance floor. Beyond the stage, he played Stephen Carmichael in the TV series Bad Education, and the tour itself is recommended for ages ten and over. Performances are strictly limited, so it's one of the few dates he'll be playing in the region.

On the practical side, the show starts at 7:30pm at the Royal Hall, within the Harrogate Convention Centre (HG1 5LA). Tickets range from £39.00 to £79.00, and there are captioned, relaxed, audio described and British Sign Language interpreted shows available if you need them.
