Performing to great acclaim and sell out shows in over 50 countries, The Simon & Garfunkel Story tells the fascinating tale of how two young boys from Queens, New York went on to become the world’s most successful music duo of all time. From humble beginnings as 50’s Rock n Roll duo Tom & Jerry, The Simon & Garfunkel Story takes you through the songs and stories that shaped them. The dramatic split, their solo careers, ending with a stunning recreation of the legendary 1981 Central Park reunion concert.

Featuring evocative 1960’ imagery and video projection accompanied by a full band performing all their hits including Mrs Robinson, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Homeward Bound, Scarborough Fair, The Boxer, The Sound Of Silence, Cecilia, 59th Street Bride Song and many more, this is a show not to be missed by any fan of the music and the era.
