Congrats to Layton

Layton Williams, my old roommate and friend from the Billy House in London, just had his final performance in BETM in England.

Here's a cool shot from the curtain call I found:

Layton Williams as Billy in Billy Elliot the Musical
But . . . it looks like Layton won't be away from the stage for very long. Rumor has it that he'll be in Thriller Live as young Michael Jackson.

How awesome is that?! One more excuse to visit the UK . . . when I have the time!! Congrats!!

Hi Trent -just to confirm Layton got the part and is sharing it with 2 other boys and they will rotate playing the role as per Billy Elliot style. He introduced the moonwalk into the the boxing scene on hios last night by way of a short celebration. Hope you and Dad are both OK and look forward to meeting you both again when I am back in New York in January

Other than Trent, Layton was defintely the best Billy Elliot ever in London! He was there for a long time. Trent would've been even longer if it wasn't for Broadway but that is a very good thing!
