Simone is currently back on the West End stage in the relaunched Chicago the Musical at London's beautiful Garrick Theatre. Simone is playing the role of Annie in this hardworking ensemble, alongside Ugly Betty star America Ferrera (Roxie Hart) and Amra Faye Wright (Velma Kelly). Simone is also understudying the role of the sassy Velma Kelly.

Simone spent much of September 2011 back in Japan conducting workshops and coaching classes for the world renowned Shiki Theatre Company.

This is the second time Simone has been asked back to Tokyo to share her musical theatre and dance skills with the Shiki company, one of the largest and most successful theatre companies in Japan.
