It is currently the world's biggest and most successful tribute show, celebrating the life and career of folk/rock sensation Simon & Garfunkel and taking the audience on a thrilling musical journey through time: The Simon & Garfunkel Story. After sold-out performances in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Cologne and Hamburg this spring, a worldwide tour and standing ovations at every performance, The Simon & Garfunkel Story returns to Germany for 18 concerts in the fall of 2025. Talented actors and musicians from London's West End will transport audiences back to the groovy days of the 1960s in The Simon & Garfunkel Story. The show tells the story of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel: Beginning with their humble beginnings as rock'n'roll duo "Tom and Jerry" through to their huge success and dramatic break-up, ending with a breathtaking re-enactment of the 1981 Reformation concert in Central Park - skillfully condensed into around 130 captivating minutes.
As a loving tribute, the acclaimed tribute show brings the characteristic sound of the folk-rock stars faithfully and respectfully to the stage - naturally including all of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel's hits, including "Mrs. Robinson", "Cecilia", "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Homeward Bound", "Sound Of Silence" and many more! In addition, projections of carefully selected photo and video material convey the mood of the time and visually recall special moments in their success story. The British Daily Express is not without reason of the opinion that the show is "as close to the originals as you can get." "It is an extraordinary musical journey through time that has thrilled the audience", attests the Westdeutsche Zeitung to the show. "A heart-warming journey back to the time of Simon & Garfunkel", also finds the Hamburger Abendblatt and is even of the opinion: "The copy now sounds better than the original."The Frankfurter Neue Presse put it a little more simply: "Goosebump moments": And the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger sums it up as follows: "An evening in perfect harmony!
