This critically acclaimed production celebrates the legendary folk-rock duo’s 50th anniversary, with a powerful blend of live music, original film footage, and stunning projection photography. Backed by a full live band, the show features all the classics – from Mrs Robinson and Cecilia to Bridge Over Troubled Water and Homeward Bound.
Described as “fantastic” by Elaine Paige on BBC Radio 2, and “authentic and exciting” by The Stage, the show offers more than nostalgia – it’s a masterclass in storytelling and musicianship that’s captivated audiences across the globe.
