This week's guest is Simon Gordon who most recently starred as JD in
Heathers!
Simon originally went to Law School before entering ITV's
Superstar - Andrew Lloyd Webber's reality TV show, casting an actor to play Jesus in
Jesus Christ Superstar - where he made it to the final thirty boys.
Simon's theatre credits include: Christian in
Moulin Rouge (Secret Cinema), alternate Strat in
Bat Out Of Hell (London Coliseum, International Tour & Dominion Theatre), Robbie in
Twist and Turn (The Other Palace) and cover Gene in
Girl From The North Country (Gielgud Theatre).
Most recently, Simon played JD in the original UK tour of
Heathers, before reprising his performance in the London production at The Other Palace. During his London run, Simon played JD for the musical's film which will premiere on the Roku Channel in the US in September.
In this episode, Simon discusses how he found his way from Law School to theatre, the
Heathers fandom and *that* story about how rehearsing for his
Beautiful audition led to armed police entering his house (and lots more).
