Richard Skipper is so goddamned charming and I learned a lot as he took the audience on an affectionate ride through 60 years of HELLO, DOLLY! He’s put together a sweet and entertaining evening, with visuals and audio aids and we were rapt students in the class of a master who knew his subject(s) well. He’s charming (as stated earlier), charismatic and sings really well. He,also, is so at ease in front of He has excellent timing in his story-telling and is quick with a quip.  The evening flew by, assisted by a trio of musicians and, apparently, Richard has just begun performing this piece and may soon be coming to a town near you. Go see him!

 It’s sure to send you home …. To listen to HELLO, DOLLY!

Hi Richard, We all had such a terrific time at the Santa Monica Playhouse. The evening you put together and hosted celebrating 60 Years Of Hello Dolly was a joyous and rousing celebration of the performing arts. Your stories of the creation of Hello Dolly were fascinating. When you burst into song I felt I was sitting in the St. James Theater in 1964 all over again. Your special guests, Mary Jo Catlett,the original Ernestina Money from the original 1964 production!!!, and the great Jo Anne Worley who was Carol Channing's original standby,where the frosting on a delicious seven layer cake. It was a memorable evening in the theater.
