## Resource

Connor and Dylan are joined by Olivier Award winner Layton Williams (Titanique, Cabaret). Well YES! Y’all knew we’d have a true kiki with this West End diva, who has crossed the pond to take Broadway by storm. Actually, by iceberg, b*tch! Layton spills on being nominated for a Tony Award for his turn in Titanique, reprising the same role for which clinched an Olivier. He speaks candidly about receiving the offer for the role in the West End, as well as how his transfer to Broadway came to be. We gab about Layton’s adventures in the Big Apple, his fabulous co-stars Constantine Rousouli and Melissa Barrera, and advice he received from Jak Malone ahead of the run. Listen in as the twins break down the latest Drag Race All Stars bracket scenario, Layton divulges his encounters with members of the Spice Girls, and the last time Tom Holland tried to FaceTime him. These three share plenty of laughs while also chatting about Strictly Come Dancing, Billy Elliot, and why Eeeeeveryboy’s Talking About Jamie. Wake! It! Up!
