A Night Of Nostalgia With The Simon & Garfunkel Story

The internationally acclaimed theatrical concert The Simon & Garfunkel Story is heading to the Whitsundays, with a one-night-only performance at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre on Thursday, the 28th of August.

Following sold-out tours across the USA, UK, and Europe, this global sensation will bring its powerful tribute to one of music’s most iconic duos to local audiences. With performances in over 50 countries and more than 20 headline shows in London’s prestigious West End – including appearances at the world-famous London Palladium – The Simon & Garfunkel Story has cemented itself as a must-see event for fans of the era.

Telling the captivating tale of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel’s meteoric rise to fame, the production traces the duo’s journey from humble beginnings as 1950s rock 'n' roll act Tom & Jerry, through their chart-topping success, dramatic split, solo careers, and ending with a stirring recreation of their legendary 1981 Central Park reunion concert.

With a full live band, stunning 1960s imagery, video projections, and unforgettable renditions of timeless hits including Mrs Robinson, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Homeward Bound, Scarborough Fair, The Boxer, The Sound Of Silence, and Cecilia, the show offers a deeply immersive experience for fans old and new.

The production has been praised around the world, earning rave reviews for its emotional storytelling and world-class musical performances.

“Simply incredible,” hailed BBC Scotland, while the Burnley Express said, “The standing ovation at the end of this impressive show was a given as soon as the final note faded from the very first song.”

Even Art Garfunkel himself gave the show five stars, declaring; “What a great show.”
