City, State: Asbury Park, NJ Website: www.revsiontheatre.org Comments: ReVision Theatre booked Richard Skipper and Richard Siegel to perform a cabaret for our theatre company. Like all small theaters, it's a challenge and sometimes a struggle to stay afloat. Our "Richards" were so gracious and donated their the for our company. They were lifesavers. I saw Richard Skipper perform before so I knew that he was an energetic, awesome performer. He sets the bar so high and is such an inspiration. We had a great crowd, with some never seeing Richard as HIMSELF! This cabaret was THE BEST I have seen. Not only is he a great vocalist but his performance is BROADWAY! He is a great theatre historian also and kept the audience mesmerized with his knowledge of the theatre intertwined with classic show tunes. You need to see his show ANYWHERE he performs. THANK YOU RICHARD! Bob Angelini,www.RevisionTheatre.org
City, State: Red Bank, New Jersey Website: www.ThomasRyanWard.com Comments: A review of last night's show: Yesterday, May 31st, I had the distinct pleasure to enjoy a thoroughly stunning evening of entertainment out-on-the-town in historic Asbury Park near my new home of Red Bank, NJ. The star attraction, Richard Skipper, beloved international performer best known for his spot-on and celebrity approved, loving portrayal of the incomparable Carol Channing, performing his new, 'all-male' review, 'Richard Skipper: At Last'. The show was produced as a benefit for ReVision Theatre of Asbury Park – a young professional company launched five years ago with Richard's help (Richard starred in their first large-scale production, 'Hello, Dolly!', as America's favorite musical matchmaker, Dolly Levi, herself!) 'Richard Skipper: At Last' is Richard in his all new stage persona...himself. Off have come the wig and gown but the sparkle and energy remain; offering the audience a rare musical treat. Richard shares his fateful, life-affirming journey to the stage – from South Carolinian tobacco farmer's son to adolescent stage hopeful, from starry-eyed, new New Yorker to Toast of the Town. Along the way, the audience gets an intimate look into a life well lived interspersed with polished-off Broadway treasures, performed by a personality that gets the crowd moving, stirs them deeply, and keeps them wanting more. Thanks must be given to Revision Theatre for bringing this sparkling stage offering to a new audience of music lovers and kudos to Richard Skipper and brilliant Musical Director, Rich Siegel, for creating an evening that show-people and people who love a great show alike will want to enjoy again and again. -www.ThomasRyanWard.com
