Tribute shows at the double as Frankie Valli and Simon & Garfunkel celebrations play Grand Opera House

The Best Of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons

THE Grand Opera House, York, plays host to two tribute shows this week, first hitting the high notes with The Best Of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons on Friday.

The Simon & Garfunkel Story follows on Saturday in a return visit to the Cumberland Street theatre.

From the creators of The Barricade Boys comes the Frankie Valli show, a high-pitched celebration of the career of four New Jersey boys, who started singing under a streetlamp.

Sherry, My Eyes Adored You, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, Walk Like A Man and December 1963 (Oh, What A Night) all feature in a show performed by cast members from Jersey Boys and other West End shows.

The Simon & Garfunkel Story

After a run at London’s Vaudeville Theatre and a worldwide tour, the tribute show to Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel is back on the road with Adam Dickinson’s Simon and Cameron Potts’s Garfunkel.

Using projection photos and original film footage, the 50th anniversary celebration features a full band performing Cecilia, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Mrs Robinson et al.

Tickets for the two 7.30pm performances are on sale on 0844 871 3024 or at atgtickets.com/york.
