Simone Sault's musical staging of this production is gorgeous and a testimony to an incredible talent.  Doug Knight, Australian Stage. Read full review on Australian Stage website.  

Simone Sault's choreography is perfect. She uses traditional style movements, but they are performed in a way that is fresh and electrifying, such a joy to watch.  Jade Kops, Broadway World.  Read full review on Broadway World's website.

Many of the production's most beautiful moments are the work of choreographer (and assistant director) Simone Sault, who has a clear eye for spectacular use of large cast and mighty space.  Sault achieves a high level of precision and yet always maintains a lightness of touch.  The entr'acte is danced and the full company sequence in 'Masquerade' is a stunning highlight.  Simon Parris, Man In Chair.  Read full review on Simon Parris' website.

Simone was recently interviewed by Dance Australia about her amazing career and her current role as Choreographer and Assistant Director of Phantom of the Opera on Sydney Harbour.

Simone is thrilled to reveal she will be taking on the dual roles of Choreographer and Assistant Director for the upcoming Opera Australia season of The Phantom of the Opera on Sydney Harbour.  

Simone's association with this beloved Andrew Lloyd Webber show has come full circle.  The original 1990 Australian tour of The Phantom of the Opera was Simone's first professional job and she credits this experience with shaping her successful performing and creative career that followed.  

Simone will team up with Director Simon Phillips, Set Designer Gabriela Tylesova and Musical Director Guy Simpson in this brand new production to be staged on Sydney's beautiful harbour.  

The Phantom of the Opera on Sydney Harbour season will run from 25 March to 24 April at Mrs Macquaries Point and will be an experience not to be missed!

Simone has been busy in New York for the opening of Company on Broadway!  Scheduled to open in 2020, Company had its run delayed by the Covid pandemic.  But this gender-flipped fresh take on the Sondheim classic has hit Broadway to rave reviews.

Simone has just wrapped a very exciting project staging the workshop for Andrew Lloyd Webber's new musical Cinderella at The Other Palace in London.  With lyrics by David Zippel (City of Angels, Hercules, Woman in White) and book by Emerald Fennell (The Crown, Killing Eve Series 2), the Cinderella workshop was performed by a 20-strong cast and a glorious band under the direction of Simon Lee.  Simone worked closely with Lloyd Webber and Zippel on this industry presentation and promises this Cinderella version has a fun, modern twist!

Simone spent March at Elstree Studios in London working with Liam Steel as a choreographer/movement creative on the upcoming series, Giri/Haji.  The bilingual drama, directed by Julian Farino (Entourage), stars Kellie MacDonald, Takehiro Hira, Yosuke Kubozuka and Justin Long.  Giri/Haji will air in October 2019 on BBC Two in the UK and Netflix internationally.
