City, State: Sunnyside, New York Website: HansVonRittern.com Comments: Richard Skipper weaves a magical evening with Tommy Tune:On Thursday night, May 23rd, Richard Skipper hosted an extraordinary evening of intimate conversation with nine time Tony winner Tommy Tune at Queensborough Community College. The evening was a rare privilege for all. First and foremost for Richard, since it was Tommy himself who had requested him for the interview. Secondly for all of us lucky enough to be in the audience. To see this talented icon of Broadway theater open up to Richard's questions and reminisce freely was an exciting treat. We've all seen Tommy Tune dance and perform, but a shared moment like this is irreplaceable. Richard knows his theater history, combined with both their friendships with legend Carol Channing - their bond made for an insightful conversation. Tommy shared lessons learned from luminaries such as Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Carol, Michael Bennett, Lucie Arnaz, Honey Coles and his perfect pairing with Twiggy in the film "The Boyfriend" and the hit Broadway show "My One and Only".At age 74, Tommy has a youthful energy that comes from the love of his craft. He simply radiates joy. The audience was riveted by the insight and advice Tommy gave, many times reinforcing that our own uniqueness should drive our determination to forge forward and take chances and leaps of faith. Richard steered the 'conversation' masterfully. In ending the evening Richard with his usual warm charm, asked the audience to participate in asking questions of Tommy which added to the bond that had been created with both Tommy's and Richard's fans. It was an evening not to be forgotten, thank you Richard! Hans Von Rittern, Sunnyside, New York
Comments: What a delightful and exuberant interview you did with Tommy Tune who I LOVE! It was so exciting and interesting. The two of you had a wonderful rapport. I loved the intimacy of the event and I'm going to sound like a teenager here but when you told Tommy you knew me and that I was a Rock and Roller and he said hi to me, it made my day! As always Richard, Bravo! I'd love to see more events like this. Jen Bush, NYC |
