"[4] He played the revolutionary Norman Cornell in the Neil Simon comedy The Star-Spangled Girl in a 1985 Chapel Theater run in Lomita, California.
[5] The critic Dorsett said that "Boland plays Norman very low-key during the opening scenes, but quickly warms up to the level of the rest of the cast.
[6] Daily Breeze reviewer James Bronson criticized his performance, writing, "Boland is low-key -- in fact, too low key -- through much of the play.
"[6] At the Lomita restaurant and nightclub Seymour Hamms in 1986, Boland acted as the baron Cletis T. Fullernoy in the James McLure play Lone Star.
Daily Breeze reviewer Shari Okamoto found that "Saturday's show wasn't perfect, but it was a flattering tribute to Diamond and rousing entertainment for people not familiar with his work.
[10] After singing part of "My Way" in Presley's voice, for the rest of the song, he imitated 17 people in total such as Dudley Moore, Richard Dreyfuss, Sonny Bono, Cher, and Jack Nicholson.
"[12] Calling Boland an Elvis look-alike, The Seattle Times's John Voorhees found that he "proved to be a great impersonator" in his Into the Night Starring Rick Dees appearance.
In a positive review, Chicago Tribune theater critic Richard Christiansen wrote that the show was "strictly phony, but at least the phoniness is genuine and unpretentious" and said of Boland's performance, "When Paul Boland, not even looking or particularly singing like Elvis Presley, comes on and does an amiably offhand, what-the-hell turn as The King, the mature ladies who chat and dance with him no doubt feel they are in the presence of a real rocker.
[24] Imitating the voices of Louis Armstrong, Ray Romano, Jerry Seinfeld, Jimmy Stewart, Robin Williams, Boland performed "It's a Wonderful World".
