City, State: New York Website: www.drsue.com Comments: What a fabulous show! I particularly like the part of your show where you interact with the audience. That's where your quick wit, professionalism, and charm come through!
City, State: New York, NY Website: www.ManhattanDiva.com Comments: Hi Richard: Your new show is fantastic. You were great and so were the Paul Stephan Group and the backup singers. So, many times during the show I thought you were Carol Channing. You portray Carol with such love and respect. I've been recommending your show to all of my friends. Best wishes for continued success with the show.
City, State: NYC Website: www.dotbishop.com Comments: Richard you were truly superb! A great performer who loves his (her!) audience and gives and gives. I left the cabaret feeling like I got more than my money's worth. A great show! xo kisses Dorothy Bishop
City, State: New York, NY Comments: Normally, club performances evoking known personalities are not my bag, but I am happy to report this Carol Channing Tribute is every bit as charming and funny as one would expect from Carol Elaine herself. Through your own genrosity and talent you allow her shine and collect all the accolades. It was amazing to be reminded how small focused moments can fill a room just as much as the oversized styles of some of Carol's contemporaries. I attended the 6-15-06 performance at Helen's Hide-Away Room with a "non-theater" friend who knew of Carol, but not particularly in her iconic caliber. You have put an end to all that and earned her (and yourself) a new fan. Hearty Congratulations!
City, State: Baltimore, MD Comments: Rich, you won't remember this, it was a very long time ago, but in August of 2000 (I think it was a Saturday night 8:00 show) I treated my mother Fran to your show at Don't Tell Mama. We sat in the front center table, right underneath you, and she was the only other lady in the place. You made a point of including her in practically every routine you did. To this day, she continues to talk about how special you made her feel, how beautiful, and how glad to be human and alive(she doesn't exactly get that kind of treatment from my father a lot of the time, unfortunately!). So glad you're getting the kind of recognition that a talent like you deserves. Because you aren't just a great performer -- you are a great example for the rest of us of what all people ought to be. Wise, kind, warm, sane, humorous and adventurous. Necessary qualities for survival in the increasingly disorganized and unkind times in which we live, and you help lead the way in making the world better. Bless you, and glad things are going so well for you! William Smith (a very good, longtime friend of Joel Markowitz's, who is also, as you know, a special human being) Baltimore, MD |
