City, State: Ridgefield, CT Website: www.silkrivermusic.com Comments: This past Saturday afternoon I was thrilled to attend a meeting of the New York Sheet Music Society. What an absolutely delightful show! Richard Skipper hosted "An Afternoon Celebrating the Legacy of Jerry Herman" (This year mark's Jerry's 80th birthday) with Lee Roy Reams, Marge Champion, Klea Blackhurst, Donald Pippin, Miles Equality Phillips and others with Richard as moderator. There were stories about Jerry Herman and his wonderful Broadway shows as well as songs that were performed by Reams, Blackhurst, Phillips and Richard himself. It was a packed house which is a testament to the popularity of both Jerry Herman and Richard Skipper. "RICHARD SKIPPER CELEBRATES...JERRY HERMAN" will be held at The Triad on November 28th with a cast which includes Anna Bergman, Diane J. Findlay, Peggy Herman, Sue Matsuki, Miles Phillips, Jana Robbins, Richard Skipper, Lee Roy Reams, Walter Willison, Bob Mattern, John Patrick Schutz and Sarah Rice. Bob Levy Ridgefield, CT
City, State: NY, NY Website: www.jimspeake.com Comments: On Saturday I went to a meeting of the NY Sheet Music Society. They had a program put together and hosted by Richard Skipper. The show was "An Afternoon Celebrating the Legacy of Jerry Herman." Richard Skipper was able to bring together people who had intimate knowledge of how some of Jerry Herman's iconic shows were put together. Interwoven with stories by Marge Champion, Lee Roy Reams, Klea Blackhurst, Miles Equality Phillips and a host of others, songs were sung and a short film clip of Jerry himself was shown. The program was very well organized and quite entertaining. Jim Speake NY, NY
City, State: Matthews, North Carolina Comments: I was lucky enough to see Richard as Carol Channing at the Oklahoma City Prime Timer Labor Day Celebration. In fact I was called to come on stage with Carol to answer questions and do a little dance with her. I was totally blown away by the talent Richard has as Carol. His voice and look are Carols and one forgets they are not really watching Carol perform. What a great honor it is for him to represent Carol Channing in such a talented production. I look forward to seeing him perform again in the future. Tom Hendricks Matthews, North Carolina

City, State: New York, NY Website: http://www.BroadwayBlogspot.com Comments: I had the chance to catch Richard Skipper's "Carol Channing" show before he left St. Luke's in New York City. It was a wonderful and joyous evening and his work was not only impressive but inspirational. That evening was joyous and frolicsome and his work as an artist, and the talent he has, shone trough. I tell people about it still and I wanted to thank Richard and hope I have the opportunity to see it again very soon. Ernie Fimbres BroadwayBlogspot New York, NY |
