There are plenty of people who consider Paul Simon the best American songwriter of his generation. I would disagree with that for a number of reasons — chief among them being the existence of Bob Dylan — but it’s hard to argue the man’s genius, as a solo artist and (especially) as the driving force of the iconic duo Simon & Garfunkel.
Fans of that famed duo are in for a special treat next week, in the form of The Simon & Garfunkel Story, a special program that, using giant production photos, original film footage and a live band, digs into the lush music and legendary history of the act. Fans of the music, students of music history and those looking to get more acquainted with the backstory of one of the most important musical acts of last century won’t want to miss this show, which is fresh off its resounding success in London’s West End.
$29.50-$64.50, Mon Oct. 22, 7:30pm, The Majestic Theatre, 224 E. Houston St., (210) 226-3333, majesticempire.com.
