During his London run, Simon played JD for the musical&apos;s film which will premiere on the Roku Channel in the US in September. <br/><br/>In this episode, Simon discusses how he found his way from Law School to theatre, the <em>Heathers</em> fandom and *that* story about how rehearsing for his <em>Beautiful</em> audition led to armed police entering his house (and lots more). <br/><br/>Follow Simon on Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/simongordon/'>@simongordon</a> <br/><br/><em>Hosted by Andrew Tomlins. <br/></em><a href='https://www.instagram.com/andrewtomlins32/'><em>@AndrewTomlins32</em></a><em>  <br/><br/></em>Thanks for listening! <br/><br/>Email: andrew@westendframe.co.uk <br/>Visit <a href='https://westendframe.co.uk/'>westendframe.co.uk</a> for more info about our podcasts.  </p>","author_name":"West End Frame"}
