City, State: NYC Website: https://judimark.com Comments: Life sure was a Cabaret tonight, as birds of a feather flocked together with delight at Richard Skipper’s Legend-themed show. It was fun to be there! What I liked the most was Richard’s warm, inviting, and generous spirit, which is contagious, and the joy of hearing his wonderful voice sail through the room. I wanted more! Directed by James Beaman, with music direction by Dan Pardo, a great team!! Judi Mark, NYC
City, State: Brooklyn New York Website: laurietowers.net Comments: The enormity of the talent onstage, was only amplified by the genuine humanity displaced throughout the evening. Whether it was towards the guests, the audience, and of course the musical director, the love and respect in the room was palpable. Admittedly though, what was THE most gracious exchange of the evening, was our gracious host, invited the “other celebrities” on the stage. The wait staff for the evening. As someone who is married to someone who spent decades in the Labor Movement’, this was the icing on the cake, and NOBODY applauded louder than my groom.
City, State: NYC Website: https://jeffharnar.com/ Comments: Richard Skipper had a packed and adoring crowd for the debut of his “Life Lessons from Legends” at The Laurie Beechman Theatre and gave us an explosion of content from personal video messages (Melissa Manchester, Liz Callaway, Melissa Errico …), a Wheel of Fortune (spun once by a deliriously delightful Susie Mosher) that prompted tales of Judy Garland, Julie Wilson & Jerry Herman (Happy Birthday!), audience participation shares from Ann Kittredge, Becca C Kidwell & Bruce Bider … and very Special Guest Barbara Minkus, who dazzled in interview and duet with Richard, a poignant “Once Upon a Time” clip from The Danny Kaye Show (1966) and a wonderfully powerful “My Man.” Throughout, Richard was the quick-on-his-feet, absolutely charming host with his “raise the roof,” Broadway-sized pipes and ever-shimmering heart. Music Director (and singing co-star) Dan Pardo was winning support and Director James Beaman brilliantly shaped the structure that allowed Richard the freedom within to work his magic, both rehearsed and spontaneous. “Richard Skipper Celebrates Life Lessons From Legends” will return in November and promises to be the delight that this night was, yet absolutely reinvented given all those in-the-moment surprises. 🎶♥️🎶 Jeff Harnar, NYC
