City, State: Bronx, NY Comments: What a joy it was to take part in Richard's glorious evening! Hearing his stories from childhood to Broadway with wonderful songs sprinkled throughout was so special. Richard drew us in from the moment he spoke, and we went for the ride the whole way. Thank you for sharing your journey so bravely and humorously! Christine Milton, Bronx, NY
City, State: New City, NY Comments: I attended “ An Evening With Richard Skipper” on 8/5 at the St.Luke’s Theatre. He is a master storyteller, presented in an animated and colorful way. I especially loved catching a 'glimpse' of his Carol Channing and hearing of that special friendship. His sincerity and talent shown through, with the help of his accompanist, Bryon Sommers. His journey down the Yellow Brick Road was so entertaining. Thank you to Richard!!!!!! Nona Reiss, New City, NY
City, State: NY Comments: On August 5th, I had the supreme pleasure of witnessing Richard Skipper live for the first time! Richard knows me from my starring role as Tzeitel, the oldest daughter in the film of “Fiddler on the Roof”. Richard had called me a number of years ago for an interview about my experience playing Dolly Levi in Hello. Dolly! Richard is a veritable encyclopedia and Who’s Who of the American musical theater. His knowledge, love and respect for artists of the musical stage surpasses even the most diehard of fans. His passion which began as a very young child has not dimmed a drop in all these years .... To see him onstage is pure joy! A Tall, handsome man with glowing skin, wearing his very own Ruby Slippers ..regaling his years and his first experiences in pursuing a life in the theatre, through stories and songs with the enthusiasm and wonder of a child untarnished by life had me captivated and smiling from ear to ear from start to finish.. Richard is a dynamic, funny and irresistible storyteller, with a strong Merman-Esque singing voice...truly a unique talent!! If you have a chance to see his next show, grab a phone and book your tickets now! He played to a SOLD OUT house on 8/5/19, Extra seats filled the isles, such was the demand to see the show.. All I can say is: “I LOVE RICHARD SKIPPER and YOU WILL TOO! ROSALIND HARRIS, NYC
