I really enjoyed this show. The singing was wonderful and the backing band was great. I liked that the artists were telling the story rather than acting it. The use of archival film and TV of the times helped to give context. The performers were impressive.

Very slow and somewhat boring first half, was made worse by Charles Blyth's (Art Garfunkel character) extremely annoying cheesy narrative of the life story of Simon & Garfunkel. Second half was very enjoyable, but still cringe worthy everytime Charles spoke a line. Charles redeems himself with his singing, his rendtion of Bride Over Troubled Waters was beautifully delivered.

I really enjoyed it! It’s so great to be with performers who truly love the music of Simon and Garfunkel! A must-see for all Simon and Garfunkel fans!

This is the second time we’ve seen the show, taking our parents the second time because we enjoyed it so much. But there were some additions to the accompanying band that weren’t used in the smaller venue and it meant we could hardly hear the singing, which is what we came to hear. Adding a trombone, trumpet and saxophone to Simon and Garfunkel changed it too much for my liking.

What a great performance! Thoroughly entertaining. The quality of the singing and playing of instruments is second to none. Well worth seeing. Thank you.

What a show! Absolutely brilliant. The singers and the live band were all truly brilliant. A story well told with some of Simon & Garfunkel’s greatest hits included Both Actors sang and played their parts brilliantly. It was like a mini concert. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening and would definitely recommend the production.

Great show for everyone, excellent singing and accompaniment, most hits were played with a teaser at the end. Pity the seats are so cramped.

Generally happy. The performers were brilliant. Found the very early songs a bit boring but this wasn’t antibodies fault. Just weren’t to my taste. After that though it was brilliant

The band was great and the two stars playing Simon and Garfunkel were terrific. But I went to hear their greatest hits and only half of them were played. The others were their songs that never really made it to the top and so we don’t know them. I found that disappointing. I realize it may be due to the cost of royalties but if you are going to put on a show like this then you need to go for it or don’t do it. Like Jersey Boys, Thriller, Dream Girls, Beautiful, we go to these shows to hear all the music we loved not to hear the ones we don’t even know.

A really enjoyed the performance and prowess of the musicians. Would recommend he show to anyone. I did find the visual projections rather confusing and often not given enough time to read the text, but this is a small issue.

Brilliant! What a treat! The songs where sung fully and so well by the Actors. The Visuals on the screen behind depicted the years associated with the songs very well. Would go back again and recommend this event to all.

What a great evening. The Simon & Garfunkel Story was a toe-tapping extravaganza down memory lane and I would thoroughly recommend it. It managed to transform us from a Monday evening in the West End of London to Scarborough Fair and other such places. It was a great nostalgic trip, featuring many of their hits and the duo looked just like the original pair.

I enjoyed the event very much. The story takes you from their early days as friends at High School to what they did after splitting up. The songs begin early on when they were at school and move up to their most famous album 'Bridge over Troubled Water'. As a result, I learned about songs I didn't know they sang. Also, we hear a lot of songs that we do know. I didn't think the videos playing at the back were always very relevant. I thought the two singers had great voices and they sounded very like Simon and Garfunkel. Their moves were similar and they looked like them as well. The backing groups (guitars, keyboards and brass) were great also and they all blended well together. But the two main singers......just Fantastic.

Bothtghe singers and musicians were professionals, we enjoyed it very much. I start to be disappointed that they don't sing one of my favourit, the Boxer, so it was an amazing finish of the performance to finish ot with this song.

There was less "story" than I had expected, with at times several songs going by between comments and background provided by the performers and film clips. But this was a crack cover band and overall it was really effective. And hearing all that music (and not just the hits - some deep tracks) together reminded me that it is possible to let this timeless music do the talking.

It was good as a tribute act - singers were very good. However the story lacked detail and should have been portrayed on stage rather than on background video shots

We had the most fabulous time last night, my son who is 18 years old (and a song writer) myself and husband 60 yrs & 50yrs ALL thoroughly enjoyed the performance. We all said we want to go and see it again. The voices of the two guys were amazing and the band were so talented too. Lovely lovely evening would defo recommend. Thank you, Carol

We're so glad we made the effort to brave the cold weather to see the Simon and Garfunkel story. Our daughter saw it in New Zealand and highly recommended it. We were not disappointed. The two singers were awesome and their harmonies so beautiful. Their backing band was excellent too with just the correct volume, not overpowering but still giving it some punch. Excellent show with some great singers and musicians.

I bought these tickets for my daughter and her boyfriend as a Christmas present. Unfortunately, they left the show before half time as they were very disappointed with it. They complained and were told that they would get a refund as they were not even sitting together as there was a post in the way, even though these were stalls tickets and there was no mention of this

The performance exceeded our very high expectations, with the singing and orchestration. Could anyone else be this close to the original recordings? Songs from most of the albums and good to have some of their less well known pieces too as well as ‘sound of silence’ and a superb ‘bridge over troubled water’ from Charles Blyth

An amazing live performance of exceptionally high quality reproductions of Simon and Garfunkels songs expertly delivered in chronological order accompanied by some additional biographical information and a continuous background video display of both artists and /or scenes from the appropriate songs era. Backing group were also amazingly talented.spent most of the evening just watching the bass guitarist in total awe of his abilities. If you like Simon and /or Garfunkel or even just 60's and 70's folk type music then this is definitely the show for you.Superb from start to well deserved and very well received encore.

I bought tickets for this show as a Birthday present for my husband. If you are a fan of Simon & Garfunkle you will love this show. The actors playing Simon & Garfunkle were superb. They took us through a journey of Simon & Garfunkle's career singing hits and providing a narrative between songs. A screen showing news and social clips that progressed in time with story added to the atmosphere.

So good I have been twice, and wouldn't mind seeing again, Thoroughly gripping from start to finish, beautifully sung and with images from the day and photos from their past posted on the screen behind, which takes you back in time. An uplifting experience and a great night out.
