This celebrated concert production 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.
Starting from humble beginnings as 50s Rock n Roll duo Tom & Jerry, The Simon & Garfunkel Story takes you through all the songs and stories that shaped them, the dramatic split, their individual solo careers and ends with a stunning recreation of the legendary 1981 Central Park reunion concert. Huge projection images including 1960s photographs and film footage set the scene. Accompanied by a full band the cast perform all the hits including Mrs Robinson’, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Homeward Bound, Scarborough Fair, The Boxer, and The Sound Of Silence. This is a show not to be missed by any fan of the music and era.
The Simon & Garfunkel Story 2025 cast features American performer Israel Bloodgood as Paul Simon and Luke Hogan from the UK as Art Garfunkel. The duo are accompanied by Nick Martin on bass, Harrison White on keyboards/guitar and Harry Denton on Drums.
Producer, Creative Director and writer Dean Elliott said, “We are thrilled to bring The Simon & Garfunkel Story back to Australia where the show first toured in 2016. Since then, it has grown into a truly global success. We’re especially excited to return to our favourite Australian venues and introduce audiences to the phenomenal talents of Israel Bloodgood and Luke Hogan, who have been wowing crowds across the UK, including a sell-out performance earlier this year at The London Palladium. The music of Simon & Garfunkel continues to transcend generations, and we can’t wait to share this special experience once again with our growing legion of fans down under.”
