Still Going Strong: Richard Skipper Celebrates Sixty Years of Hello, Dolly!

Richard Skipper is an award-winning entertainer who has headlined in Atlantic City, Las Vegas, WINDSTAR Cruises, and every point between! It was through his friendship with Carol Channing that he began to chronicle the history of Hello, Dolly! That began a journey over the past 15 years in which Richard has interviewed over 1000 participants of various productions of Hello, Dolly! Like Dolly Levi, Richard has come back to his roots and has re-joined the human race with this life-affirming audience, interactive celebration of one of the greatest musicals of all time. The show includes video, a Q&A with the audience, a mini interview with Lorna Dallas, who appeared in the West End with Danny LaRue as Dolly, and so much more! So put on your Sunday clothes and join this parade before it passes you by!

Guest starring: Lorna Dallas and Cory English
Musical Direction: Nathan Martin
Arrangements: Dan Pardo
