Theatre will rock to sounds of the 60s
There will not be any sounds of silence when The Simon and Garfunkel story comes to Shrewsbury next month.
It has been 50 years since the talented duo recorded their first number one hit, The Sound of Silence and their remarkable journey will be reenacted through their music at a performance in the main auditorium at Theatre Severn on May 16.
Following it’s West End success at the Leicester Square Theatre, London, it will be going on a nationwide tour and will be stopping off at Shrewsbury.
Featuring a full cast of actor- musicians, The Simon and Garfunkel Story takes the audience back through the 1960s. It tells the story of both Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel from their humble beginnings as Rock n Roll duo Tom and Jerry, right through their massive success, dramatic break-up and finishing with a stunning recreation of the 1981 Central Park reformation concert.
Using a huge projection screen, the show features 1960’s photos and film footage whilst a full live band perform all their hits including Mrs Robinson, Cecilia, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Homeward Bound, Sound of Silence and many more.
