BOB EGAN ENTERTAINMENT in association with ELEGANT DIAMOND PRODUCTIONS
presents Carol Channing in Concert Starring Richard Skipper! Musical
Direction by Jesse Kissell, with a five piece band and back-up singers.
In this intimate evening with one of Broadway s greatest treasures,
Skipper takes his audience back to a time of clean wholesome
entertainment, featuring highlights from two of Channing s greatest
hits, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Hello Dolly! One performance only,
August 2, 2008 at 8:00 pm. Tim McLoone s Supper Club, 1200 Ocean
Avenue, Asbury Park, NJ. Reservations: (732) 774-1155.
Richard returns to Asbury Park by popular demand after performing as
Carol Channing as Dolly Levi in Hello Dolly! at Asbury Park s historic
Paramount Theatre in a special benefit performance for ReVision
Theatre. Other highlights this year include a successful run at the
Wings Theater Company in NYC; the Cultural Center Theater in Port
Charlotte, Florida; The Social Restaurant in Aspen, Colorado by special
request. Skipper was also a surprise special guest for the Dancer s
Over 40 tribute to Gower Champion, featuring
David Hartman, Marge
Champion,
Lee Roy Reams, and dancers from Champion s Broadway shows.
His appearance was so successful that he was asked to be part of DO40 s
Spring Fling.
With Channing s personal endorsement, Skipper has taken his tribute
from Manhattan to Las Vegas and San Francisco and all points in
between, summoning the legend s spirit, her signature style, and her
sense of connection with the audience. This is not a drag show and it
is not campy! It is a one man, interactive performance of audience
pleasing, critically acclaimed theater.
Richard Skipper s tribute to the legendary diva is so extraordinary
that it becomes nearly impossible to distinguish between the two. Carol
Channing herself agrees, saying, . . . this is the first time ever I
have been shown with so much love, respect, and polish Richard Skipper
is a TRUE MUSICAL COMEDY STAR! He is FABULOUS AS ME! And as Richard s
many awards and testimonials attest, Richard Skipper as
Carol Channing
is one of the most polished productions of its kind out there.
What Skipper recreates are Channing s memorable shows in Vegas and on
Broadway, in which the diva proved she could do a whole lot more than
just diamond-happy Lorelei Lee. He has won two MAC (Manhattan
Association of Cabaret) Awards, the Backstage Bistro Award and was
named one of the top cabaret performers of the year by Cabaret Hotline.
He has also been awarded the coveted IGCITA (International Guild of
Celebrity Impersonators and Tribute Artists) CLONEY award for
Outstanding Tribute to a Legend, and has appeared with the great lady
herself at the Palace of Fine Arts. For more information about other
