Music lovers in the Whitsundays are in for a nostalgic treat when the acclaimed international production The Simon & Garfunkel Story arrives at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre on Thursday, the 28th of August.
Described by none other than Art Garfunkel himself as “A Great Show”, this spectacular concert experience traces the legacy of one of music’s most beloved duos, from their humble beginnings as ‘Tom & Jerry’ in the 1950s to their iconic reunion concert in Central Park in 1981.
Having wowed audiences across over 50 countries and enjoyed a highly praised run in London’s West End, The Simon & Garfunkel Story returns to Australia in 2025 for its most extensive national tour yet, with stops at regional venues including the Proserpine Entertainment Centre and Maryborough’s Brolga Theatre the following week.
This immersive show features huge projections, rare film footage, and a full live band, bringing to life timeless hits like Mrs Robinson, The Sound of Silence, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Homeward Bound, Scarborough Fair and The Boxer.
The 2025 cast features American performer Israel Bloodgood as Paul Simon and Luke Hogan from the UK as Art Garfunkel, joined by a talented band including 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.”
Whether you grew up with Simon & Garfunkel or are discovering their music for the first time, this is a show not to be missed.
