CHICAGO (April 2, 2024) – Nostalgia-inducing unforgettable hits! Broadway In Chicago is delighted to announce that the
internationally acclaimed hit theater show, THE SIMON & GARFUNKEL STORY will return to Chicago for a limited one week engagement at the CIBC Theatre (18 W. Monroe St.), April 30 – May 5. Tickets are on sale now.
THE SIMON & GARFUNKEL STORY
The immersive concert-style tribute show recreates the magic and authenticity of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel on
stage and chronicles the amazing journey shared by the iconic, GRAMMY-award winning folk-rock duo. It tells the story
from their humble beginnings as Tom & Jerry, to their incredible success as one of the best-selling music groups of the
‘60s, and to 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.
Playing the roles are Jonah Bobo and Brendan Jacob Smith, who I had the pleasure of interviewing on WCPT820-
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 of the hits including “Mrs. Robinson,” “Cecilia,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,”
“Homeward Bound,” and many more complete with the unmistakably perfect harmonies that will transport audiences
down memory lane.
With more than 100 million album sales since 1965, Simon & Garfunkel’s unforgettable songs and poetic lyrics
poignantly captured the times that made them 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. In 1977, the Brit Awards
honored their “Bridge Over Troubled Water” album with Best International Album. In 2003, Simon & Garfunkel were
awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and the following year saw their “The Sound of Silence” awarded a
Grammy Hall of Fame Award.
