What Fans Say

Great last night at Kallet Theater with Slippery When Wet…they were awesome…I have seen Bon Jovi 31 times and these guys are as close as I have seen…they nailed the songs and so many mannerisms…makes me miss Bon Jovi a lot but am thankful to the guys that help keep the music alive!… The man that portrays Richie was spot on…Will definitely be watching and hoping they come back. I have seen two other tribute bands and this one rocks it-they really channel Bon Jovi and to me would have to make them proud!

MICHELE MERRITT

Slippery When Wet NJ – A Night to Remember at the Kallet Theater!

“Tonight’s Slippery When Wet – The Ultimate Bon Jovi Tribute show at the Kallet Theater was nothing short of electric! From the moment the first chords rang out, the energy in the room was through the roof. The band had the crowd singing every word, dancing in the aisles, and reliving the timeless magic of Bon Jovi’s biggest hits.

The looks were spot-on, the guitar riffs were blazing, and the band’s connection with the audience made it feel like an authentic Bon Jovi experience in the heart of Pulaski. Fans belted out classics like Livin’ on a Prayer and Wanted Dead or Alive with pure joy, creating a wall of sound that shook the theater.”
