City, State: Union, NJ Comments: Well Hello Richard! It is so nice to have you [back] where you belong! - "Carol Channing in Concert" at the Wings Theatre on Christopher Street in New York City. Now it is the audiences who are overjoyed and overwhelmed by Richard Skipper's transformation in to the warm and talented Carol Channing. Throughout the evening Richard's loving & genuine delivery of anecdotes, history, and wonderful song made me forget that I was not actually watching and spending an evening with Carol Channing herself. What a fantastic evening of pure warmth and delight. Richard is superb as Carol. Kudos to the musicians and the talented guys providing accompaniment & back up to Richard/Carol. For anyone up for an evening of lighthearted fun, laughter, and enduring tunes, this concert is a MUST. Thank you Richard!
City, State: Spring Valley, NY Comments: Richard Skipper is sugar and spice as well as a bit of a hot toddy. He shines brighter than the diamonds that he wears on his fingers and brings light and life to any darkened stage. His knowledge of Carol’s life and history is impeccable. His “garage-grown” boys enhance an added flavor to the show (can I get the recipe?) I am looking forward to seeing this show on Broadway where it belongs.
City, State: ny Website: www.gregpurnhagen.com Comments: Richard Skipper's newest show is a true tour de force- so entertaining and presented beautifully. In a day and age of all-amplified sound in the theater, I especially enjoyed seeing and hearing a performer in an acoustic setting- Richard filled the house and connected with the audience. Bravo. Best, Greg

City, State: NYC Website: http://ivanfarkas.smugmug.com/ Comments: What a wonderful evening! Richard Skipper's wit, his talent (and memory!-what a wealth of delicious information about the great CC) are honed to perfection. What's more, it's a joy to hear un-amplified voice, humor without vulgarity combined with a total lack of cheap theatrical tricks. Richard is funny, moving and absolutely divine. And, need I say, he looks fabulous. Loved his "boys", too and his musicians. It was a perfect show. |
