"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.
