If you grew up with the sounds of the 70s, this tribute show at the Meridian Arts Centre is a must-see. 'Anticipation: The Carly Simon and James Taylor Story' dives deep into the musical partnership and personal history of two of the most influential singer-songwriters of the era.

The Music Expect to hear all the classics that defined a generation. The show promises authentic arrangements of hits like 'You're So Vain', 'Fire and Rain', 'Mockingbird', and 'How Sweet It Is'. The production features a talented ensemble, including singer-songwriter Claire Hunter, who brings the necessary warmth and emotional depth to these beloved tracks. It’s more than just a cover band; it’s a storytelling experience that explores the romance and the songwriting magic that made these two artists household names.

The Venue The Lyric Theatre at the Meridian Arts Centre in North York provides an excellent, acoustically sound setting for this kind of intimate, harmony-focused performance. It’s easily accessible via the TTC, located just a short walk from North York Centre station.
