City, State: New York, New York Website: www.myspace.com/jentheguitargirl Comments: My friend Judy and I saw Richard Skipper's show last night. It was very worth braving the arctic weather for. He was spectacular. Not only does he have a great voice but he knows how to captivate and engage an audience with his stage presence and interaction. The passion that he has for performing is evident. He appears to love what he does and the audience loves him back. He shined like the diamonds that Carol Channing adores. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable night out at the theater. Happy Valentine's Day! xo Jen P.S. All your chorus boys were adorable!
Comments: I had a ball at Richard Skipper's show this past Sunday! Not only does he capture the essence and spirit of Carol Channing with dead on accuracy; he is also a wonderful performer who is so quick on his feet with snappy, funny comments and he is also a terrific singer. For anyone who loves musical theatre, this show is a must-see!! Tom Andersen
City, State: Brooklyn, NY Website: www.suematsuki.com Comments: WOW...as usual, a GREAT show from Richard Skipper. I love the theater on him and him and his cast on the theater. I think it is where Richard and his big voice belong. I wish Carol & Harry could see him in this show. She would be even more proud of him (if that's possible). Miles Phillips did a great job as his Director too. Congratulations! Sue Matsuki
City, State: New York NY Website: www.partylite.biz/candlebabe Comments: Richard Skipper turned The Wings Theatre into an intimate cabaret experience. This show is a must-see. A Valentine to Carol Channing and the perfect Valentine to one's sweetheart. Readers, FLY to the Wings Theatre and see this incredible performance! I was so happy to be in the audience for Richard's birthday show--double the pleasure. And what a show! His spontaneity fuses a rapport with the audience that is delicious. This show rocks--and I'm not just talking about those diamonds Richard passes out to lucky audience members! Visually, the production has all the right touches. The set was perfect--I especially loved the photo of Carol in her widow's weeds. But it's Richard and his brilliant company, who made my night. He IS Carol, down to a toe tap. The musicians were perfect. "Carol's Boys," the three male singer/dancers, were delightful. Together, they turned "Blondes" into a show-stopper (my personal favorite). Richard's performance is a study in the joy and wonder of musical theatre. We leave richer, happier, smarter (especially those to whom Carol is only Dolly Levi)and begging for more. With love, Roberta
City, State: NYC Comments: I am a member of Wings Theatre and I saw Richard Skipper's show last night. I decided to look at his website this morning, and I joined his mailing list! The show was fantastic. It was such an enjoyable evening. Richard Skipper is an incredibly talented performer and he are so charming. I was very impressed with his knowledge of Ms. Channing's life history, and his quick wit. I thought that the audience interaction added such a nice touch to the show. And I always find it so lovely when performers greet their audience in the lobby after the show. I met Carol once after I saw her perform at The Village Theatre on Bleecker Street a couple of years ago. They set up a table in the lobby for her to greet her audience after the show. She signed copies of "Just Lucky I Guess." It was really a thrill. Thanks again for a really great show last night, and I look forward to seeing more of Richard's shows in the future. |
