City, State: London, England Comments: Mad about the boy........ I was unexpectedly taken to the magnificent evening honoring Carol Channing in Palm Springs recently. I had heard of Richard Skipper but had never seen him perform as Carol.......but to have seen him as himself was just terrific. The guy has a great voice, electrifying stage presence and a most engaging personality...and dealing with newly met musicians to put on such a show takes balls.......Just wonderful...a real pro..It was an extremely entertaining show with the right mix of humor and audience interaction. I am looking forward to Richard's next show. Leonard Amborski, London, England
City, State: Riverside, CA Website: www.singact.com Comments: I have now had the privilege of seeing Richard perform as Carol Channing and as himself. Both were just wonderfully memorable performances that will remain in my heart forever. Richard's love for Carol Channing and for musical theatre, in general, just radiates and shines. We love you Richard! John Petersen, Riverside, CA

City, State: Mount Pocono, PA Comments: I saw Richard Skipper's show this week with my partner, Rob. Rob had been chirping about seeing Richard's show for a few weeks and I was reluctant, but only because I didn't know what to expect of the genre. HE WAS GREAT! Richard's performance is nothing like any other. His class and style are a tribute to Carol Channing, as well as to theatre, and his portrayal of Carol speaking to Ephraim was moving. Clearly he has tremendous acting skills as well. Rob & I took his Mom to see Carol Channing in Hello Dolly during its last run on Broadway some years ago. We had great seats and just adored her. Richard really brings her spirit to the stage and we felt as though we were right there with Ms. Channing herself. Now, to anyone who has not seen Richard's performance, DO NOT miss out on this!!! Frank Fiore Mount Pocono, PA Richard, as Carol, is warm to the audience, interacts beautifully, and has all the grace & charm that makes Carol who she is -- an icon. Get to see this show as soon as you can. It will warm you and it delivers on being a close up personal conversation with Carol Channing. You won't want it to end. Thank you Richard, we had a great evening! Frank Fiore, Mount Pocono, PA
City, State: Mount Pocono, PA Comments: Frank & I saw Richard's show last night at the St. Luke's Theatre in Manhattan. The performance was absolute pure entertainment. Richard truly lives into Carol's character does so with much professionalism, love, respect and passion for Carol Channing. He's the only performer who Carol herself endorses, and his relationship with her certainly enhances his character. Last night's performance coincided with Carol's 90th birthday, so we were treated with an amazingly delicious cake after the show and an opportunity to greet Richard. His interaction with the audience was spot on and we really felt like we were enjoying an intimate room with Carol Channing. Kudos also to his musical team directed by John Fischer. A first class act all the way! I strongly urge anyone who has to endure these snowy days in Manhattan or elsewhere to take a Wednesday afternoon (since it seems to snow every Wednesday!) and treat yourself and a friend to a fine time with Richard as Carol. The show goes by quickly, so savor every moment. If Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend, then Richard is mine! Rob McMahon, Mount Pocono, PA |
