he is definately the reason i love billy elliot so much. I saw him for my dads birthday about 4 years ago, and he was sooo good! it made me sad that I gave up ballet, as i would have loved to be involved in something as amazing as billy elliot on the west end, and apparently I would have been good if i had kept at it :(
Layton was my first ever Billy. The first one is always special. But all the others were too. I just don't recall anyone being quite as explosive on stage as Layton. But I think the beauty of the musical is that Billys are allowed to focus on their strengths, so when you go on consecutive days, it's a fresh show.

the little nigger boy is way overrepresented n photo's it's like u r tryin to be PC to the stage u over photo the minorities to the detriment of the cast?
@GhostToast1 Nice racist comments that shows you for the stupid bigot you are. The boy in the photos, is the boy singing the song you moron. You really have shown yourself to be the typical retard racist that talks sh*t about stuff they know nothing about. You can go crawl back into your hole now.
@GhostToast1 What an absolute knob you are... you have really humiliated yourself there u cock. Layton... the one you called a N**** is one of my closest friends, and has more talant in his little finger than you do in morals and repect in you whole entire body.... PRICK
layton was my first ever billy and i absolutely loved him in the role. none of the other billys ive seen since him have matched up to him in my opinion. i especially loved layton's voice. he wasn't just a good dancer, he had a fab voice too! perfect for billy!
He is so adorable and cute. Plus, he does Electricity well. The other Billy Elliot's were cracking their voices half the time when they sang Billy Elliot and were off tune.
Layton left Billy at the end of November. He is now appearing in Thriller Live at the Lyric Theatre in London. Go see it, it's a great show and Layton and the other boys are fantastic as are all the performers.
i absouloutly loved billy elliot. and i saw layton doing the performance. img he was emense. he is realy cute aswell and i want him to hear it. he looked at me in the performance and smiled. he was gr8 at dancing. post a comment to me if you have seen him perform and think is gr7 and really cute and fit. I do lol i love layton.
I saw that on saturday. I cried soo much, and something has to be really sad for me to cry. I Loved ebery minute of it though, Amazing song,amazing Play x
they have 2 different versions for electricity and about 3 for the last song. the ballet one was for liam mower cuz he was bril at ballet and the james lomas and george maguire had to learn ballet and were better at street dance so they did two versions
No wonder when I saw Josh that I though the dance was different? I think he does the street version as well (he was running up the walls and everything!!!)
hay ... this is dean ... i used to be in the show ... ye well there's about a million diff rent versions of electricity (no jokes)... everyone's is unique and so purely for us to show off, because we all have different styles of dance, we all have different electricity's ...
Well, I'm fairly confident you aren't the Dean that used to be the show. Whoever you are, choreography wise you are correct, each Billy's Electricity is unique. However, musically there are two versions of the song each available in two keys.
I personally don't think they sound the same. I can tell thte difference between Billys very easily. Unless you mean how they are all able to master the accent in which case I agree.
aw hes a really good singer! Ive seen clips of him before (solidarity) but not like a long singing clip! sounds like his electricity is more hip hop which is cool! I really want to see it on bway in the fall!!
I love Layton more than I love my bf <3 <3 <3

Yes, they have two basic versions, a more Balletic version and one that is more of a street version. Layton does the street version
