City, State: New York, NY Comments: Great Job Richard Skipper! Everything about the show was total class and musically accomplished. Where did you get those close harmony vocal arrangements?! Really enjoyed it, especially at those transcendent moments when I suddenly realized you weren't actually Carol Channing. Lots of magic going on on that stage. Bravo! Brava?
City, State: Greenwich Village Comments: I can't remember when I've seen a character portrayed so lovingly--Hal Holbrook as Mark Twain comes to mind, but respect would outweigh the love in that case. Richard was captivating, and his performance was like being in a warm embrace while having a cup of tea with a soon-to-be old friend. Congratulations on this--Carol Channing is sure lucky to have him, as are we all!
City, State: NYC Comments: I had the honor of seeing Richard Skipper last night performing, and fell in love with Him. I have no doubt that he ARE Carol Channing. He is fabulous! The show was funny, witty and very pleasant to watch. Richard portrayed her as a loving warm and likeable person. Never out of character. He is very very talented. I had such a good time I didn't want it to end. By the way, as soon as I got home, I got on the phone and told my friends about Richard and the great show. I also e-mailed the info about his show to my e-mail list. Thank you again. Oh, and thank you for the big diamond ring that you threw my way. I love it. Yaffa
City, State: New York, NY Website: www.daverubs.com Comments: It was so great to see Richard Skipper as Carol last week. I don't know if one can technically "channel" a person who is still alive, but that seems to be what Richard is doing with our Dolly. As one who studied acting for many years, though, I especially appreciate the CRAFT that goes into his performance. I'm afraid that the tribute is so dead-on and the knowledge of Carol's life so thorough that many people might miss what a terrific ACTING job Richard is doing -- in the songs, in the monologues, and in the improvisational interactions with audience members. The speech to Ephraim was so nuanced and emotionally rich that (dare I say it) I think it may have surpassed the original. MUCH SUCCESS with the show in more venues and with all the engagements in the future. All my best, Dave |
