City, State: NYC Website: http://www.JamiedeRoy.com Comments: It was excellent and I was proud to be part of it. I enjoyed listening to everyone........ Congrats Richard. I was SO GLAD Al Martin made the offer to me of the larger downstairs room - which is their main room, as we would not have fit everyone in had he insisted on the first floor room. It was a perfect size.............. but had it been a small turnout - it would have not felt so perfect, so thank goodness it was really good turnout. Hoping all seminars and showcases do as well........................ Always, Jamie
City, State: Ft. Lee, NJ Comments: The panel was absorbing; the people and their stories had the audience mesmerized for the entire evening. And Richard did a truly superb job as moderator. Many of the late night TV shows could take lessons from him and benefit immeasurably. What a night! Peter
City, State: Washington, DC Comments: Dear Richard, I saw your second show at the National on January 29...I'm so glad Earl Levit alerted me to your performance...you were just wonderful! I had had a really crappy day at work and you were the best tonic ever. The rest of the week was wonderful, not because things were going well at work - they weren't, just because I was still on a "high" from your show. Your production "Carol Channing in Concert" made me laugh, cry and truly appreciate the woman who obviously inspires you. I do not know much about her and will probably never get a chance to see her perform in person, but after your production, I feel as if I have. The visible love and respect you have for Carol, as well as your great voice and razor sharp wit, made the sun shine on an otherwise gray Monday in January in the nations capital. I look forward to seeing you at the end of May at Camp Ramblewood in Maryland. With great respect, Roy PS I would love to see the photos of the post performance "Birthday Celebration" here on your website! Did Carol get "our" voicemail?
City, State: Charlottesville, VA Website: http://www.gravity-lounge.com/ Comments: Dear Richard, We very much enjoyed and appreciated your visit and stunning performance. Any performer, I believe, would be pleased with the *quality* of your audience. You made a lot of people very happy for an evening, and gave them an experience they will never forget. One of those here was telling someone about the performance later, and he said, "Richard was channeling Carol Channing"-- I let it go at the time, but later I told him, "Channeling makes it sound effortless, like it's beyond his control. What he's doing is studied and nuanced...it's completely in the moment. It's like nothing I have ever experienced before." I believe there are audiences EVERYWHERE who are hungry for that kind of show, that kind of talent. The act is a stunner, and it is IDEAL for any room, I have no illusions that you would play a big room the same way you played our club. Thanks again. You're amazing. With respect and admiration, Bill Baldwin, Booking Manager GRAVITY-LOUNGE
City, State: Arlington, VA Comments: Luckily attended the birthday party concert for Carol Channing at the National Theatre in DC last week and had a blast. Having worked with Ms. Channing on 'Dolly', it was a pleasure to see that Richard's tribute was right on the money. He even ad libbed accurately! And he sings it all live! None of that "lip synch" nonsense. If you get a chance to catch one of Skipper's concerts, don't pass it up... ..."for the pleasure and the profit it derives" Miguel |
