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.

“Shirley MacLainiacs” with Suzie Toot

Dylan and Connor are joined by drag superstar Suzie Toot (RuPaul’s Drag Race). Consider our engines STARTED! Hopped up on NeuroGum and with Pride on the horizon, these theatre queens joined together for a gay ol’ time. Ms. Toot fills the twins in on her upcoming one-woman solo tour, Suzie with a Z, which she is bringing to 17 cities across the nation this summer. All-singing, all-dancing, all Suzie Toot! This queen recalls when she last saw RuPaul in the flesh, speaks on the legacy of being the “Queen of She Done Already Done Had Herses,” and reflects on how life has changed after the race. Our guest spills the tea about Provincetown, her drag inspirations Dina Martina, Jinkx Monsoon, and Sasha Velour, and the key to tap dancing as a giant menorah during the holiday season. Of course we get into ButtTootKing (Suzie’s trio with Kori King and Lydia B. Kollins), their upcoming Halloween tour, and behind the scenes tidbits from Drag Race season 17. Why is Suzie a redhead?
