“Simon & Garfunkel Story” Is a Concert-Style Tribute
THE ROAD TO SUCCESS: A musical about the legendary duo Simon & Garfunkel is on stage at the State Theatre in New Brunswick on February 7 at 8 p.m.
State Theatre New Jersey presents The Simon & Garfunkel Story on Friday, February 7 at 8 p.m.
New Brunswick is among 60 U.S. cities on the current North American tour of the immersive concert-style tribute show, which covers the duo’s humble beginnings as Tom & Jerry, to their success as one of the best-selling music groups of the’60s, as well as their dramatic split in 1970.
The Simon & Garfunkel Story culminates with the pair’s famous “The Concert in Central Park” reunion in 1981, which had more than half a million fans in attendance. The show features a set list of nearly 30 songs and uses state-of-the-art video projection, photos, and original film footage. A full live band will perform all the hits including “Mrs. Robinson,” “Cecilia,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Homeward Bound,” and many more.
With more than 100 million album sales since 1965, Simon & Garfunkel is one of the most successful folk-rock duos of all time. Over the years, they won 10 Grammy Awards and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
The State Theatre is at 15 Livingston Avenue. Visit Stnj.org for tickets, which range from $39 to $79.
