City, State: NYC Website: http://www.amasmusical.org/ Comments: Richard, my deep thanks for doing a guest talk-back after the Amas Musical Theatre, RLMTA performance of "Hello Dolly!" You inspired the students by treating them warmly but also professionally, encouraging them to ask hard questions about whether they're up for a life in the theater (that most masochistic of all professions). When you sang "Before the Parade", you showed them that theater is bold, spontaneous, and unpredictable.Any production of aspiring actors, "Dolly" or otherwise, would be very lucky to have a visit from you.Bravo! Daniel F. Levin, Musical Director: AMAS Musical Theater
City, State: New York City Comments: Hi Richard..........my partner David and I have seen you several times and have reviewed your show. You are just wonderful. I am always moved to tears because it brings to my mind such incredible memories. Hello Dolly was the first show I had ever seen on Broadway when I was 12 years old seeing Carol Channing and later on Betty Grable and pearl Bailey. Thats when I said.......thats what I want to do! Many many years later I had the great opportunity to direct the show twice. The power of theater and this show and Ms. Channing is quite remarkable. Kudos for all your efforts! Joseph Verlezza
Comments: Richard Skipper, my thanks to you in taking an interest in my musical comeback after 25 long years away from NYC. It is like coming home, and the way you described it in your blog of May 13 th conveys my exact feelings. I seek to evoke nostalgic feelings in thebsongs I select. Singing again in New York is also nostalgic for me. All I can give is a simple thank you, and applause of the heart. Love, Abbe Buck
Website: www.theatre-chat.com Comments: As a veteran producer, director, and theatrical professional, I cannot say enough good things about working with Mr. Richard Skipper! Richard Skipper is the consummate professional on and off stage. I have produced his one person show at the Angel Cabaret Theatre, in Florida, to great success, thanks to Richard's many talents which include, detailed and organized, promotional marketing skills. His talents are enormous and so is his gernerous and kind heart. Richard is a delight to work with and a truly compassionate human being, He is dedicated and loyal and goes above and beyond "the call of duty" on any and every project he is working on at the time. On a scale from 1 - 10.....Richard Skipper is OFF THE CHARTS!
