The Simon and Garfunkel Story
Has it really been 50 years since the most successful folk and rock duo of all time recorded their first no1 hit single 'The Sound of Silence'?
Following it’s West End success in February 2015, ‘The Simon and Garfunkel Story' is currently the biggest and the most successful touring theatre show, and it’s coming to Oakengates Theatre on Tuesday 22 September.
The show celebrates the lives and career of folk and rock sensation Simon and Garfunkel. Featuring seasoned West End, award-winning leading man Dean Elliott (Buddy Holly in 'Buddy - The Musical') and a full cast of talented actor-musicians, 'The Simon and Garfunkel Story' takes you back through the Groovy times of the 1960s.
It tells the story of both Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel from their humble beginnings as Rock n Roll duo 'Tom and Jerry’ right through their massive success, dramatic break-up and finishing with a stunning recreation of the 1981 Central Park reformation concert.
Using a huge projection screen, the show features 1960s photos and film footage whilst a full live band perform all their hits including 'Mrs Robinson', 'Cecilia', 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', 'Homeward Bound', 'Sound of Silence' and many more!
Tickets cost £17.50 and can be bought online at www.theplacetelford.com, by calling the box office on 01952 382382 or by visiting Oakengates Theatre and Southwater One in Telford Town Centre.
