Layton Williams: Career, Titanique, UK Tour and Confirmed Facts

Known as: stage actor and performer · Tony nomination: 2026, per Wikipedia (open encyclopedia) · LAYTON LIVE dates: 27 dates, per British Theatre (UK theatre trade publication) · Broadway debut: March 2026, per WhatsOnStage (West End listings publisher) · Titanique UK tour opens: 17 September 2027, per BroadwayWorld (theatre news network)

Seven checked facts, one pattern: every dated milestone comes from a theatre trade outlet or an encyclopedia, and none comes from a family or screen source.

Who is Layton Williams?

Williams works mainly in musical theatre. According to Wikipedia, he played the Emcee in Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, Playhouse Theatre, from 3 June to 21 September 2024. His LAYTON LIVE show marks 20 years since his professional stage debut, which came at age 12 in Billy Elliot, according to Theatre Weekly (theatre industry news).

Who is Layton Williams’ father?

• No parent is named in the research, so none is named here.

Who is Layton Williams’ mother?

• The research names no mother, so this article names none.

Did Layton Williams have any siblings?

• No sibling is confirmed in the research supplied, so this article lists none.

How much is Layton Williams worth?

• The research contains no verified net worth figure, and this article does not estimate one.

The pattern: the verifiable record is stage-first, and the personal details readers search for most are the ones with no named source behind them.

What TV shows has Layton Williams been in?

Screen credits are the thinnest part of the record. The research lists no verified film or television credit list, and the one television appearance it records is his run on Strictly Come Dancing, where, according to Wikipedia, he reached the final in series 21 and finished as joint runner-up in 2023.

Layton Williams movies and TV shows

• No film or TV title is confirmed by a Tier 1 or Tier 2 source in the research, so none is listed here.
• Strictly Come Dancing is the only television credit the research records.

Layton Williams Benidorm appearance

• Benidorm appears as a search topic, but the research does not confirm any role or episode.

The implication: any television claim needs its own named source before it earns a place on this page.

Who plays the iceberg in Titanique?

Titanique, a musical parody of Titanic, was written by Tye Blue, Marla Mindelle and Constantine Rousouli and premiered Off-Broadway in June 2022, according to WhatsOnStage.

The iceberg is the one role here that the research leaves open. According to Wikipedia, Williams reprised Iceberg when the show reached the St. James Theatre on Broadway in March 2026, but no Tier 1 or Tier 2 source supplied confirms that role, so this article does not state it as fact.

Layton Williams Titanique

• West End: the Criterion Theatre run ends with its final performance on Sunday 3 January 2027 (London Theatre Direct).
• Replacement: William Hanson, Titanique stand-in Ruth, plays the role from 10 November 2026 to 3 January 2027, taking over from Myra DuBois (London Theatre Direct).
• Broadway: the St. James Theatre hosted the transfer from March 2026 (WhatsOnStage).

Will Layton Williams return to Titanique on Broadway?

• The research records a Broadway run from March 2026 and lists it as closing on 20 September 2026, according to British Theatre.
• No new Broadway engagement appears in the research, so a future return is not confirmed.

The implication: the stage credits are documented well enough to publish, while the role readers ask about most still rests on a single encyclopedia entry.

What is Layton Williams doing now?

His current work is touring. LAYTON LIVE was announced in August 2026, with pre-sale from 10 August and general sale from 11 August 2026 (London Theatre 1).

Layton Live UK tour dates

• Opening date: the tour begins at the Corn Exchange, Newbury, on 23 February 2027, according to Matinee Musicals.
• Closing date: the tour concludes at the Adelphi Theatre, London, on 4 April 2027, according to Matinee Musicals.
• Count and reach: 27 dates across England, Scotland and Wales, one date per venue, per British Theatre, including Edinburgh’s King’s Theatre, Glasgow’s Pavilion, Perth, Inverness, Mold and Cardiff.

Layton Williams tour

• Musical Con: Williams appears in an Artist Spotlight at Musical Con, 17–18 October 2026, at ExCeL London (Theatre Weekly (theatre industry news)).
• Before the tour, Matinee Musicals reports he is scheduled to play King Herod in Jesus Christ Superstar at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre.

The implication: the solo tour is the best-documented current project here, which makes it the safest part of his schedule to plan around.

Is Layton Williams in a relationship?

The research does not confirm a current relationship or marital status, so this article names no partner or spouse. It also does not establish the friendship status between Williams and Nikita.

Is Layton Williams married?

• No marriage is confirmed in the research supplied.

Are Layton and Nikita still friends?

• Friendship status is not confirmed in the research, so none is stated.

The pattern: where public sources stay silent, the honest answer is silence rather than a guess, and this article follows that line.

Timeline signal

Ten dated markers, one pattern: the Titanique milestones cluster between 2026 and 2027, while the solo tour fills the months around them.

The catch: the calendar is dense, but the Titanique tour date at the bottom is the one that a second outlet disputes.

Confirmed facts

• Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical, for Titanique, in 2025 (British Theatre)
• Broadway debut of Titanique at the St. James Theatre in March 2026 (WhatsOnStage)
• Final West End performance on Sunday 3 January 2027 (London Theatre Direct)
• LAYTON LIVE dates from 23 February to 4 April 2027 (London Theatre 1)

What’s unclear

• Titanique UK tour opening: BroadwayWorld reports Newcastle on 17 September 2027, while BroadwayWorld Ireland (regional theatre news) reportedly lists Wolverhampton Grand from 1–6 November 2027
• Iceberg role on Broadway: credited by Wikipedia only (Wikipedia)
• Titanique UK tour beyond the opening venue: further venues and casting are not yet announced, according to Theatrefan (UK theatre listings site)
• West End opening date: sources differ on whether the official opening came in January 2025 or previews began in December 2024 (Wikipedia)

The pattern: the confirmed and open lists now carry equal weight, and the open items sit on the dates and roles that matter most to ticket buyers.

In their words

“As a great diva once opined, ‘it’s not a comeback, it’s a return’!”

William Hanson, etiquette expert and returning Ruth, quoted by WhatsOnStage

“It has been such a thrill to bring TITANÍQUE to the West End and share this gloriously outrageous show with London audiences.”

Eva Price and Michael Harrison, producers of Titanique, quoted by British Theatre

“I’ve adored playing Ruth in the West End, how thrilling to get to spend a few more months with her around the country in this screamingly hilarious show!”

Myra DuBois, who plays Ruth, quoted by BroadwayWorld Ireland

The pattern: every voice here is tied to the show’s promotion, so treat the praise as marketing and check dates against the listings.

What’s next

The 2027 calendar is set by two dated runs: Titanique’s West End finale on Sunday 3 January 2027 (London Theatre Direct) and the LAYTON LIVE opening at the Corn Exchange in Newbury on 23 February 2027 (Matinee Musicals). Layton Williams’s LAYTON LIVE dates are the firmest entry on the 2027 calendar, so UK theatregoers who want to see them should book while the dates are listed, and check any Titanique tour date with the venue before travelling.
