jaypoff.com • Jan 30, 2018
The nationally regarded Fulton Theatre is proud to present this jovial celebration of The Irish... And How They Got That Way
The Irish...And How They Got That Way opened Off-Broadway in 1997 at the Irish Repertory Theatre. Written by Frank McCourt, the production featured musical arrangements by Rusty Magee with such classic Irish tunes as "Danny Boy" and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For." The musical combines and showcases primary documents, such as news, letters, photos, paintings, and journals, in spoken word or in projections to illuminate the Irish-America struggle.
The Tell Studio Theatre will be turned into a working Irish pub for this jovial musical. Everyone knows about "The Irish." They're the people who live life to the fullest - indulging lustily in good song and good humor (and sometimes even raising a glass or two). So what's so great about being Irish? Find out in this moving, uplifting, eye-opening musical history lesson full of charm and a bit of blarney. Don't miss this raucous celebration of all things Irish from acclaimed author of Angela's Ashes.
The Fulton Theatre's cast includes Curt Dale Clark. Clark is currently serving as the Artistic Director of Maine State Music Theatre in Brunswick, Maine; Curt is very happy to return home for this production. Fulton audiences may remember Curt from Annie Get Your Gun, Legally Blonde, Carousel, Music Man, Les Misérables, Sunset Blvd, Singing in the Rain, All Night Strut, Phantom or White Christmas...
