Bill Fulton on keys or piano with The Martin & Lewis Tribute Show

Bill Fulton with The Martin & Lewis Tribute Show placed the pianist in a production devoted to the music-and-comedy partnership associated with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Fulton performed on piano, contributing to a show led by Tom Stevens as Martin and Tony Lewis as Lewis.

Stevens had already developed a career portraying Dean Martin before joining forces with Lewis. The collaboration paired that established Martin tribute with Lewis’s long-running portrayal of Jerry Lewis, creating a two-person centerpiece modeled on one of American entertainment’s most recognizable partnerships.

The attraction of the production rests on more than physical resemblance. Martin and Lewis represented two very different stage personalities: the smooth singer and straight man beside the unpredictable comic. The tribute show uses that contrast as its central entertainment idea, bringing musical material and comedy together rather than presenting either element by itself.

For Fulton, the engagement was another chapter in a performing career that has included work as a pianist, keyboardist, composer, arranger and orchestrator. His role in this production, however, was specifically at the piano. Additional performing credits can be found on his keyboardist and pianist credits page.

The show’s own site, The Martin & Lewis Tribute Show, provides the production’s external reference point. Fulton’s participation connected his live piano work with a stage concept built around classic popular entertainment and the enduring Martin-and-Lewis pairing.
