The excitement undoubtedly carried him through the longest run of any performer to date in Billy Elliot, for someone who has been immersed in one form of high-level theater or another since the age of twelve.

“Billy Elliot was one of those shows that everyone knew, even if they didn’t see it. It came out before there was Netflix or anything, but absolutely everyone had heard of it, and it was so much fun to make.”

Given the ongoing uncertainty over the return of performances (socially distanced or otherwise), producers of the upcoming series Monday Night at the Apollo have rescheduled the series' release, while also confirming further cast members.

Hosted by Greg Barnett and featuring conversations and tunes, the series was originally set to commence this month. It will now run on Monday 12 April, Monday 26 April and Monday 10 May, while also being streamed for online viewers. Ten per cent of all ticket sales will go to charity.

Among other, Layton Williams is scheduled to participate in this show.
