[POP] In order for something like this to work, it needs to be done well. While we can’t vouch for this particular production, it’s received a series of four-star reviews and has gained enough momentum elsewhere  to tour the US later this year. Through film clips and photo stills, the show establishes a narrative that follows the duo from their school-chum beginnings as Tom & Jerry, up through 1981’s The Concert in Central Park, with a live band and talented vocalists. While the oft-estranged duo managed to put differences behind them and tour in 2003-04, this might be the best (and only) way that remains to enjoy their music in a live setting—especially given Paul Simon’s official retirement last year. Tuesday, January 29 at 7:30pm at UB Center for the Arts’ Mainstage Theatre.
