===1993–1998: ''Paul Simon 1964/1993'' and ''The Capeman''===
Another Simon & Garfunkel reunion took place in September 1993, and Columbia released ''[[Paul Simon 1964/1993]]''. Originally a three-disc compilation, it became a reduced version on the two-disc album ''[[The Paul Simon Anthology]]'' one month later. In 1995, Simon appeared on ''[[The Oprah Winfrey Show]]'' and performed the song "Ten Years", which he had composed for the show's tenth anniversary. Also in 1995 he featured in the [[Annie Lennox]] version of his 1973 song "Something So Right", which appeared briefly on the UK Top 50 after it was released as a single.<ref>{{Cite web |title=something so right {{!}} full Official Chart History {{!}} Official Charts Company |url=https://www.officialcharts.com/search/singles/something%20so%20right/ |access-date=January 18, 2023 |website=www.officialcharts.com |language=en}}</ref>

Simon had been involved in creating a musical, ''[[The Capeman]]'', that opened on January 29, 1998. He worked enthusiastically on the project for many years, and described it as "a New York Puerto Rican story based on events that happened in 1959—events that I remembered."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.whizzo.ca/simon/simon94_99.html |title=whizzo.ca |publisher=whizzo.ca |access-date=October 15, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100924032430/http://www.whizzo.ca/simon/simon94_99.html |archive-date=September 24, 2010}}</ref> The musical told the story of a real-life Puerto Rican youth, [[Salvador Agron]], who wore a cape while committing two murders in New York in 1959. He became a writer while in prison. Featuring [[Marc Anthony]] as the young Agron and [[Rubén Blades]] as the older Agron, the play was not a success, receiving terrible reviews and poor box-office receipts.

Simon recorded an album of songs from the show which was released in November 1997. The album received mixed reviews. Some critics praised its combination of [[doo-wop]], [[rockabilly]], and [[Caribbean music]], but ''[[Songs from The Capeman]]'' was a failure, and for the first time in Simon's career he did not reach the Top 40 of the ''Billboard'' charts. The cast album was never released on CD but eventually became available online.
