City, State: Kew Gardens, NY Website: www.christinetalbottsutin.com Comments: Richard Skipper Celebrates Marge Champion was a delight to see and hear! Ms. Champion regaled the audience with fascinating tales of her illustrious career, and was well supported by host Richard Skipper (who should have his own TV celebrity talk show!). After the interview, everyone celebrated with champagne and cake. All in all, a most delightful evening! Christine Talbott Sutin, Kew Gardens, NY
Comments: Thank you, Richard Skipper and Marge Champion, for transporting us back to the Golden Eras of Disney and MGM studios, and Classic American Entertainment in general! As always with his guests, with each question Richard set up a "platform" for Ms. Champion to take us behind the scenes and let us know what it was like to produce and live these iconic moments in American popular culture -- and thus appreciate all of this wonderful work with a whole extra dimension when we see it from now on. Ms. Champion is eternally youthful, beautiful and charming and may she celebrate many more happy birthdays! As always, Richard leaves me wanting more and awaiting the next interview in his wonderful series!
City, State: New York, NY Website: dancenotation.org Comments: It was a marvelous evening bringing together "family" as well as introducing new friends into the wonderful world that is Broadway! Richard Skipper was a gracious host and Marge Champion was funny, poignant, and so charming. It would behoove the entire Broadway community to stand behind and support Richard Skipper Celebrates evenings as there are so many great stories from the Great White way that may otherwise be lost. Thank you Richard and Marge for a delightful evening.
City, State: new york, new york Comments: I attended Richard's interview of Marge Champion - an icon and inspiration for us all - last night. The whole evening was top drawer - totally captivating. NO ONE was checking their email or texting. Richard did an amazing job at asking poignant and interesting questions, while interjecting humor. All of this made for a very intimate, entertaining, and informative evening. Thank you, Richard, for all the heart and hard work you put into everything you do! Judge Billie Colombaro (ret.)
City, State: Weston, Ct Website: www.lionhawkproductions.com Comments: It was an evening of memories, magic and grace! I am sure many of you remember well the legendary Marge & Gower Champion. Richard Skipper did an eloquent job of interviewing Marge Champion last night. He has a gift for knowing what to ask - and more, when to give the star her moments to remember so many grand stories for the eager listeners who were present. He offers her to us as the gift she is. Marge Champion brought so much to us last night, not unlike she always did on the big screen or stage. One can readily understand why Marge and the late Gower Champion remain at the top of the greatest dancers! It was an evening one will hold close to the heart for some time to come. She glows! She recalls the studio days with a vibrant, passionate excitement- and has a sense of humor that kept the audience warmed with rich laughter. She has a true warmth that wraps itself within a powerful sense of self, of talent and stardom. I am so thankful to have been there in her presence and to talk with her was a treasure indeed! She wants greater shows, beautiful true dance talent to rise and honor the arts. I, for one, intend to help soar with that ambition. Thank you, my friend, Richard Skipper for celebrating such a talent and spirit! I hope at ninety-five years old, I maintain just a bit of her energy, passion and magic! |
