City, State: New York, NY Comments: Richard's performance as Carol is neither impersonation nor exageration; he simply embodies Carol. Having once had the "real" Carol address my theater school, I especially appreciate his spot on interaction with the audience that changes from night to night, and leads to some of the funniest material of the evening while he remains absolutely true to being Carol. What is there left to say but Richard as Carol is the razzzzzzzberries.
City, State: Brooklyn, NY Comments: Watching Richard interplay with the audience is one of the evenings highlights. He is expert at involving the audience and making each person feel special. There is a sort of spontaneous joy that happens in the room as "Carol" takes over. What a wonderful way to spend an evening.
City, State: NYC, NY Website: mercedeshall@nyc.rr.com Comments: A group of us recently saw Richard Skipper at the Wings Theater portraying brilliantly and hysterically the "one and only" Ms. Carol Channing. We were all enthralled by his portrayal of her, his engaging personality and sense of humor. I would recommend this show to anyone who wants a great night at the theater! I have told many, many friends about Richard Skipper and we have all become "new found" fans. My only regret is that we hadn't discovered him sooner! Well done Richard, and keep Ms.Channing alive forever! God BLess! Mercedes Hall
City, State: Bronx, N.Y. Comments: Seeing Richard Skipper glowing on stage over twenty years after we first performed together in the Nerian Players...what a joy! We (the Nerian fan club) are bursting with pride over his triumphs. Everything was on the money - his audience interaction, his 'chorus' of talented performers, and especially, his portrayal of Carol. She must be thrilled to have him in her life!
City, State: New York NY Comments: Richard, thank you so much for your wonderful show and an enjoyed evening indeed. You certainly have Carol down to a tee, and give show great respect to this American icon. We wish you and your show all the best in the future. Thank you again, Celeste and Frank |
