"CAROL CHANNING" (SORT OF) COMES TO THE ICE PALACE ON FIRE ISLAND

On Friday, July 27th, at 10:00 pm, Richard Skipper, acclaimed celebrity singer/actor/impersonator, will bring his show," AN EVENING WITH CAROL CHANNING" to the ICE PALACE at the Grove Hotel (Cherry Grove, Fire Island, NY - 631-597-6600). The concert is free.

Carol Channing, after seeing Richard Skipper's performance at NYC's Regent, told reporters that it was the first time she felt she had been shown with such love, respect and polish.

"AN EVENING WITH CAROL CHANNING" is a fully staged and choreographed, 90-minute musical montage celebrating the career and persona of this unique, theatrical legend. Blending Channing standards, such as, "Hello Dolly," with original material and other familiar songs sung by Skipper in his powerful Broadway voice, the musical evening surveys Channing's life with many stops along the way for Skipper's unique - and riotous - "ad-lib" interactions with the audience.

Mr. Skipper is the recipient of the MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabaret) Award for "Outstanding Achievement in Impersonation" and the Back Stage Bistro award for best performer. He was named as one of the Top Ten Cabaret Performers of 1997 by the Cabaret Hotline and as "one of the Top of the Century Premiere Cabaret Acts" by Cabaret Scenes Magazine.

Skipper returns to the ICE PALACE after recent engagements at various theatres throughout Florida's Condo Circuit, the Ontario Hilton and Washington D.C.'s Signature Theater. In each of those venues, he has played to sold-out houses and received outstanding reviews.
