Experience nostalgia-inducing unforgettable hits with the internationally acclaimed hit theater show The Simon & Garfunkel Story on Tuesday, Feb. 18 at 7 pm. This immersive concert-style tribute show recreates the magic of the iconic, Grammy Award® winning folk-rock duo. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel tell the story from their humble beginnings as Tom & Jerry, to their incredible success as one of the best-selling music groups of the ‘60s, and their dramatic split in 1970. The Simon & Garfunkel Story culminates with the pair’s famous The Concert in Central Park reunion in 1981 which had more than half a million fans in attendance.
Featuring a set list of nearly 30 songs and state-of-the-art video projection technology, audiences can experience the music, photos and original film footage live. A full live band will perform all the hits including “Mrs. Robinson,” “Cecilia,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Homeward Bound” and many more. Every song is complete with the duo’s unmistakably perfect harmonies that will transport audiences down memory lane.
With more than 100 million album sales since 1965, Simon & Garfunkel’s unforgettable songs and poetic lyrics poignantly captured the times and made them one of the most successful folk-rock duos of all time. Over the years, they won 10 Grammy Awards and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. In 1977, the Brit Awards honored Bridge Over Troubled Water as the best international album. In 2003, Simon & Garfunkel were awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and the following year their song “The Sound of Silence” earned a Grammy Hall of Fame Award.
