What an amazing evening! I have never seen a performer who puts so much heart and soul into a evening of magic and tribute. His show was truly heartfelt and unforgettable. I laughed, I learned and was moved! It's an honor to have seen him and "Thank You" for all of the love and grace you gave to me that evening. Darren Melchiorre

Between Janet Carroll's first act, and Carol Channing's 2nd act, the crowd was WOW'd!!!! The whole evening was terrific, and to think, it was good, honest, appreciated entertainment....everyone was bowled over. Simply said, it was all 'World Class'. Thanks so much for making my big birthday so memorable!!! .......Anarene

City, State: New York, NY Comments: I recently saw Richard Skipper as Carol in Maryland over Memorial weekend. That makes about the sixth time I have seen him, the first time being November 1964 at the St James Theater in New York. No wait, that was CAROL! Richard is so perfect as his alter ego that I sometimes get my performances confused.
City, State: Modesto, CA Website: http://www.CarolChanning.org Comments: For public dissemination-- Letter of appreciation to a friend and artist to Richard Skipper from Carol Channing.. June 12th 2007 Dear friend Richard Skipper, Recently, in New York, at a gala event celebration for the American Theatre Wing, you brought a surprise on June Fourth of 2007. You performed for a newcomer to the field of entertainment, a Ms. Carol Channing. She is young, beautiful, and inexperienced but you honored her anyway. Richard, you helped bring the audience to celebrate a great legend. The following evening you had prepared a venue for a gift to a Foundation for the Arts. Again, Carol Channing was honored by you. You are donating the revenue to the Dr. Carol Channing Foundation for the Arts. These funds will be used to reestablish arts in education for the 6 1/2 million pubic school students in California. Hopefully, this will become an avalanche and a boon for our kids. Thank you Richard for your continued assistance to restore society with a rich culture that brings honor to us all. The first time EVER I have been shown with such love, respect and polish. You are a TRUE MUSICAL COMEDY STAR! YOU ARE FABULOUS AS ME!! Carol Channing |
