Simon Leary is a New Zealand based actor who’s making in his NYC debut off Broadway in a new play titled Heartbreak Hotel at the DR2 Theatre running now until April 19th! Originally from Timaru, NZ, Simon has since moved to Wellington where he’s performed in numerous productions at the Circa Theatre including The Glass Menagerie, A Servant to Two Masters and more! On top of all this, he’s written and starred in many pantos which are family friendly productions based on fairytales that are especially prominent in the UK as well as New Zealand. We get to talking about all that, the time Sir Ian McKellen saw him perform, his time working as an Orc on The Hobbit: The Demolition of Smaug, and the biggest differences between New Zealand and New York theater! GO SEE HEARTBREAK HOTEL AT THE DR2 THEATRE NOW THRU APRIL 19!

‘One of the best productions I’ve seen this year.’
★★★★★ Time Out Melbourne
Story, science and a synth combine in an exhilarating new play that examines what happens in our bodies when we’re bereft.
From acclaimed Wellington-based theatre company @ebkmco , who brought their ground-breaking Gravity & Grace to Circa Theatre last year (Production of the Year, Wellington Theatre Awards 2024), Heartbreak Hotel tracks a woman’s broken heart in a wrenching and relatable journey that’s studded with classic break-up songs and razor-sharp observations on the physiology of love.
Featuring award-winning performances from @karinlindsay (Gravity & Grace, Yes Yes Yes) and Circa Theatre mainstay @learysimon (Blithe Spirit, Gravity & Grace, Transmission Beta), as well as exquisite direction from @_elbishop (Gravity & Grace, Girls and Boys), Heartbreak Hotel is a hilarious, honest take on a universal human experience.
🗓️ Tues 14 – Sat 25 October (11 shows only)

Final chance to check in to Heartbreak Hotel 🏩 Closing this Sunday.
Writer and actor Karin McCracken is taking the last reservations for her tour through the aching limbo of a serious break up, evoking famous novels and scientific research, and intellectualising the feeling of making tacos along the way.
It’s one for broken hearts. One for open hearts. Something for anyone who wants a hilarious, honest take on the human need for—and fragility in—connection.
Tickets via the link in bio.
