The Simon & Garfunkel Story review by Steven Skelley and Thomas Routzong

 The Simon & Garfunkel Story review by Steven Skelley and Thomas Routzong


What an evening of cherished memories! The Simon & Garfunkel Story is simply fabulous! The songs are iconic and story behind the incredible success of one of the best-selling music groups of the 1960s is told through an immersive concert-style theater show that supports the music perfectly.

Folk-rock duo Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel began as friends who were fans of The Everly Brothers. Imitating the Everly style at first, Simon and Garfunkel billed themselves as Tom & Jerry.  When they created their own inimitable style and began performing as Simon & Garfunkel, they became one of the best-selling music groups of the 1960s with more than 100 million album sales.

Simon & Garfunkel’s perfect harmonies and timely lyrics earned them 10 Grammy Awards, induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and a Grammy Hall of Fame Award. Their Concert in Central Park reunion in 1981 had more than half a million fans in attendance. 

On stage, the show is presented as a Simon & Garfunkel concert with a full backing band. The show uses video projection, photos and original film footage to underscore each familiar and fabulous song including “Mrs. Robinson,” “Cecilia,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Homeward Bound” and many more. It all culminates perfectly with a recreation of the pair’s famous  reunion for “The Concert in Central Park”  in 1981 where more than half a million fans came to hear Paul and Art's artistry once more. 

The American Theatre Guild, with ASM Global and the King Center, present the internationally acclaimed hit theater show THE SIMON & GARFUNKEL STORY as part of the 2023–2024 BROADWAY AT THE KING CENTER SERIES February 13–14, 2024.
