City, State: Asbury Park, NJ Website: http://www.revisiontheatre.org/ Comments: To all Theatre Lovers: WOW! That’s the comment I heard over and over again as audience members with huge smiles on their faces left the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park, NJ last month after having witnessed RICHARD SKIPPER starring as Carol Channing as Dolly Levi in the lavish musical HELLO, DOLLY! As the ReVision Theatre, a newly formed regional theatre in Asbury Park, NJ, we wanted to produce a benefit performance that would bring to life a vibrant and immediate theatre unlike anything, anyone has ever seen before. And Richard Skipper in the title role of HELLO, DOLLY! didn’t disappoint. In fact that would be an understatement. We became the rare participants in a magical performance that brought the excitement, glitter and glamour that was present in the original HELLO, DOLLY! production. Most productions of DOLLY that are performed regionally today are, well quite frankly, dated and often times even dull. But Richard as Carol as Dolly brings new found life in a way that only Richard could. His portrayal of DOLLY is as close to the original as you can get and you immediately see once again why this show was the mega hit it was. What is remarkable about Richard Skipper is that as Carol in the role of Dolly he is 100% believable. He doesn’t play it for camp or in any way demean the show or the role. Richard is so grounded in the world of the show, and so in character that every actor on stage with him is also brought into that world and can only respond truthfully and in the moment. Stylistically it is perfection. Ultimately the audience is carried along, blissfully immersed in the joyous world of musical theatre. HELLO, DOLLY! is a star vehicle and requires a bigger than life personality. Richard was exactly that. Sincerely, Thomas Morrissey Producing Artistic Director ReVision Theatre, Asbury Park, NJ
City, State: Laguna Woods,CA Comments: Just wanted to say that I was completely blown away when I caught Richard Skipper's act. He's made us believe that we were watching and hearing either Dolly Levi or Lorelei Lee and has captured and nailed every little nuance of Carol Channing. He's honed his art to absolute perfection; the voice,appearance and that special way of talking that is Carol's personal signature.He's got that special quality called "charisma" on stage and is completely captivating during his entire performance Its a wonderful night of entertainment and I know that I personally was talking about it for a long time afterwards,encouraging friends and family to go run to see him if a theater where he was playing was accessible to them.He provides his audience with a great night of talent and imagination,the consumate entertainer.
City, State: Westport, CT Website: http://www.LeslieOrofino.com Comments: You are absolutely a wonderful entertainer and I ADORE the way you do your tribute to Carol Channing as everyone did in Westport when I had you here to entertain the Women's Club. You had the politicians up on the stage dancing and the entire audience totally enjoying your performance. |
