CHANNING + 2" RETURNS TO DON'T TELL MAMA IN DECEMBER
A Celebration of the
Music of Jerry Herman and Jule Styne Starring Richard Skipper as Carol

Richard
Skipper, acclaimed celebrity impersonator, has announced the first
extension of his new production at Manhattan's DON'T TELL MAMA (343

New dates are Sunday, December 2nd at 6:00 pm and Saturday September
15th at 8:00 pm.
CAROL CHANNING + 2 is an
evening of harmony, humor and heart as Richard's "Carol" is joined
by powerhouse vocalists Miles Phillips and Parker Scott for a "old-fashioned
variety show" romp through the Jerry Herman and Julie Styne song books.
The production is directed by Jeff Matson, with musical direction
by David Maiocco.
Richard Skipper has already
performed his uncannily accurate impersonation of "Carol Channing"
as a featured performer and in solo "Evenings With..." in major venues
throughout the United States and Canada. Recent professional highlights
include Back Stage magazine's "Bistro" Award, and the 2000 MAC (Manhattan
Association of Cabarets & Clubs) Award for "Outstanding Achievement
in Impersonation"; successful debut engagements at San Francisco's

Mile Run Drive, Arlington, VA - 703-218-6500); a tour of Florida's
'condo circuit' for Bobby Breen Enterprises; and the NYC debut of
his 90-minute musical revue, AN EVENING WITH CAROL CHANNING to sold-out
houses, outstanding reviews and two extensions.
At a special performance
for Carol Channing at NYC's Regent's, Miss Channing called his performance,
"... the first time EVER I have been shown with such love, respect
and polish."
