The way they had set up the screen - our seats in the balcony could not see the full screen - the top 1/3 was cut off which diminished the enjoyment of the experience and we could not even see the words and dates that were put up on the screen. Rating: 3 out of 5 Poor line of sight - video screen should be better by DJ on 4/3/23 Orpheum Theatre - MinneapolisĬoncert was fine - but there was a video screen component.It's a quality production, and since you're not likely to see S&G any time soon, it's a good night out. The guitar player is a world-class air guitar player and a little over the top - but still a good musician. It is a little "cheesy" but just enough to keep everything in perspective. I have to give both guys a lot of credit, but especially the Garfunkel character, because his voice is so unique and difficult. I did record a few parts of a few songs and played them against the actual recordings. He kind of reminded me of Jim Carrey doing an Art Garfunkel impression (although I'm not aware that Carrey does an Art Garfunkel impersonation). We were just far enough back that I couldn't tell whether the guy was wearing a wig (from my distance, it appeared so). The Garfunkel part is a little more difficult. I thought the guy playing Simon was dead on. The leads and the band have worked hard to accurately present the music of S&G. There are period photos that are set to the music. The guys playing Simon & Garfunkel tell their story in between songs. Apparently, that is a common misperception. When I bought the tickets I thought it was a play.

The artists captured the essence of Simon and Garfunkel. The band was really into the singers and the whole thing was great.
