This historic theater is dripping in vintage charm. Sunset Boulevard however came off as kitschy instead of intense. More

This is a most charming and intimate theater venue. Comfortable, hardly a bad seat in the house. Even if some of the programs aren't to one's taste, the Fulton is a classic place to attend. More

Longest continually running theater in the US. Wonderful history and worth visiting even if it is just to see the theater itself and the old playbills. Anyone who was anyone in the theater world graced this stage in the past. The theater is truly magnificent and restored to all of its glory. The productions cover the full range of genre... More

The Fulton Theater located in Lancaster, PA is truly a gem in the U.S. theatrical world. We have purchased the season ticket package for their Mainstage Productions Series for many years now and I can honestly say it is one of the best bargains around. The cost of 7 very high quality shows for the price of what one show... More

Without doubt, the Fulton is in the top of the league when it comes down to productions, theatre, staff, service, and everything else that one would want to make their theatrical experience memorable. I have seen many broadway productions but have yet to be treated the way I am when I visit the Fulton. The entertainment is just as talented... More
