NYC: "CAROL CHANNING" IN CONCERT STARRING RICHARD SKIPPER!
Richard Skipper, the 4-time MAC Award winning celebrity tribute artist, brings his critically-acclaimed show CAROL CHANNING IN CONCERT...STARRING RICHARD SKIPPER! to ST. LUKE'S THEATER (308 West 46th Street, NYC - TKTS: 212-239-6200 -http://www.Telecharge.com/ ) for one night only on Tuesday, July 27th at 8:00 pm. The show will be included in an upcoming documentary film on the life and career of Tony Award-winner Carol Channing. CAROL CHANNING IN CONCERT.. .STARRING RICHARD SKIPPER! is a fully staged and researched musical montage celebrating the career and persona of the unique theatrical legend. Blending Channing's standards with original material and other familiar songs sung by Skipper in a spot-on Channing-on-Broadway perfection, 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. Skipper is accompanied by John Fischer (piano), Jeff Carney (bass), and Steve Bartosik (percussion); songstress Martina Vidmar joins Skipper for a few duets. The show will be a sneak preview for Skipper's upcoming one-actor musical play "As Carol!", which is slated to open Off-Broadway this December prior to bookings nationwide. "As Carol!", co-created by Skipper and long-time NYC actor/theater producer Mark Robert Gordon, showcases Skipper's celebrated performance as Carol Channing but also delves into Skipper's personal life and desire to develop an acting career separate from the Channing personage but who inevitably is drawn back to performing while donning the theater legend's blonde wig, glitzy gowns, and bedazzling jewelry. As Carol! will be produced by The Camelback Kid. Off-Broadway theater venue and opening dates to-be-announced soon. Tickets are $35-$73.50.copyright 2010 - CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE - POST YOUR COMMENTS BELOW
