A 20th anniversary Broadway revival, which played at the Martin Beck Theatre (now called the Al Hirschfeld

Theatre) in 1997, entitled Annie, the 20th Anniversary, starred Nell Carter as Miss Hannigan, but controversy surrounded the casting of the titular character. The original actress cast in the role, Joanna Pacitti, was fired and replaced by her fellow orphan, Brittny Kissinger (who usually played orphan July) just two weeks before her Broadway debut, while battling bronchitis in Boston. 
The Pre-Broadway Tour was playing the Colonial Theatre. 'Annie' Understudy and Swing Orphan Alexandra Keisman performed the role the first

night Pacitti was absent. The producers then gave Kissinger the next performance. The show then moved on to the Oakdale in Connecticut where an insert was placed in the Playbill claiming "The Role of Annie is now being played by Brittny Kissinger". 
Public sentiment seemed to side with Pacitti as she was the winner of a highly publicized contest to find a new Annie sponsored by the department store Macy's. 

Joanna Pacitti as a young woman

This incident, coupled with the mixed reviews the new staging garnered, doomed it to a short run, although it was followed by a successful national tour. Kissinger, then 8, became the youngest actress to ever play Annie on Broadway. 
More controversy surrounding the show involved Nell Carter. Carter reportedly was very upset when commercials promoting the show used a different actress, Marcia Lewis, a white actress, as Miss Hannigan. The producers claimed that the commercials, which were made during an earlier production, were too costly to reshoot.

Carter felt that racism played a part in the decision. "Maybe they do not want audiences to know Nell Carter is black", she told the New York Post. However, the ads did mention that Carter was in the show. "It hurts a lot", Carter told the Post, "I've asked them nicely to stop it — it's insulting to me as a black woman." 
Her statement, released by the Associated Press, read: " 'Yes, it is true that I and my

representatives have gone to management on more than one occasion about the commercial and were told that there was nothing they could do about it,' Carter said in a statement Thursday. 
'Therefore, I have resigned myself to the fact that this is the way it

Miss Hannigan-Annie Dorothy Loudon, Nell Carter, Katie Finneran

is.' 
The statement also addressed the alleged charges of racism, first published in the New York Post. Carter is black. 'I, Nell Carter, never, ever, ever accused my producers or anyone in the show of racism,' she said. Producers have said it is too expensive to film a new commercial."

Carter was later replaced by another white actress, Sally Struthers. The revival closed on October 19, 1997 after 14 previews and 239 performances.
Joanna Pacitti has become more famous for not playing Annie

than for playing her. 
Although pint-sized Kissinger went on to open the show on Broadway, America rallied around Pacitti, whose family sued the show's producers and settled out of court. Barbara Walters did a special about the scandal, and Pacitti made

appearances on "Good Morning America," "The Rosie O'Donnell Show" and "Sally Jessy Raphael." (Sources: Playbill.com and Wikipedia)

Warren Schein, Today I celebrate YOU! 
The world has changed. I find myself reminding people that we’re

experiencing a once-in-a-century pandemic event. Right now, a little kindness and a little humanity, goes a long way. That’s why I’m writing you an email, personally.


Richard Skipper Celebrates Warren Schein! 
“the voice is true and beautiful, the phrasing elegant and he never crosses that fine line between emulation and imitation.”

WARREN SCHEIN, has been entertaining audiences on stages throughout the US and Europe. He has played leading roles Off-Bdwy, Regional Theater and in Summer stock productions which include Mickey in Sugar Babies, Max Bialystock in The Producers and Nathan Detroit in Guys and Dolls, just to mention a few. He has been performing his one-man shows, Remembering Mel: A Musical Tribute To Mel Torme and Spend An Evening With Mr. Saturday Night, a medley of timeless music and comedy to sold out audiences throughout the country. 

with Marty Allen

Warren also garnered glowing reviews from his show “From the Borscht Belt to Broadway which included a tribute to the entertainer extraordinaire, Al Jolson (whose birthday we celebrate today). 

For many years Mr. Schein has been participating as one of the major headliners performing in the famous Provincetown Cabaret Fest in Massachusetts. 

Warren has been the voice of the Pillsbury Doughboy, the Rice Krispy MandMs, and the leprechaun for Lucky Charms. TV appearances include ads for The History Channel, A and E and Nick at Night . He appeared on Saturday Night Live, Boardwalk Empire, Law and Order and in the films, The Stepford Wives, Dark Room and Spector. 

as part of Richard Skipper Celebrates

Warren and his musicians enjoyed a jazzy evening, Rhythm, Reeds and Brass, a nineteen-piece big band that offered selections from the Great American Songbook. The impressive list of performers he has opened for and performed with includes: Marty Allen and Steve Rossi, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara,  Milton Berle, Red Buttons, Totie Fields, Buddy Hackett, Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme, Danny Kaye, and Tony Martin.

Steve and Eydie

 
Warren is especially known for his classic jokes from the Golden Era of Comedy and of today’s lifestyles. Warrens interaction with his audience makes him one of the foremost improvisational comedic performers in the business. Mr. Schein has played in every NY City premiere night club such as the Metropolitan Room, and The Copa. 
Warren is currently in rehearsals with his Music Director, Tom LaMark, for his up-coming debut performance of “Dream Along

Perry Como

With Me”: A Tribute To Perry Como.

Do you recall your first stage appearance? What did you do?
I was in the sixth grade at P.S.18. They had a talent show and I got up and sang a song from "Guys And Dolls".
I wasn't even nervous, I just got up on stage and wowed them.
The principal came over to me after the show and asked why I picked such a song. 

with Jeff Harnar and Patricia Fitzpatrick

I told him all I've ever wanted to do is to perform on stage so I thought a Broadway tune would be the thing to do. (By the way, I won the contest.)

Do you have a structured routine during this time (of the Coronavirus Pandemic)?
I'm not good at having too much time on my hands. I like to keep busy. I'm up early, have my coffee, read the paper and usually look at what needs to be done for the day.

with Dana Lorge

How do you prepare for a performance?
Over the years I've learned that I need to prepare each performance differently. And, of course this depends what venue I'm playing at. If I'm booked to perform my Mel Torme` Show and it's all music, I ease up on the comedy and keep it very structured. I keep to the script of the show almost line by line, word for word, song by song.

If I'm doing "standup and music" now that's a different story. I improvise and "work" the audience throughout the show. Obviously, my band members are aware of this and they know I'm going to go off "script" and I'm going to ad-lib. However, I still keep to my structured show for that performance but, stay in tune so to speak

so as to keep focused.
When I'm only booked for comedy, I keep it very structured except when I'm working an audience member.
I perform at many condo's, assisted living facilities, libraries, civic centers etc, it's important to bring the audience into your show. 

They need to like you, love you. And that's true of any performance. Dana Lorge taught me that you've only got the first ten minutes of your show to get into the hearts of your audience. If you can do that, you"ll kill. She was right, and I think of her as I walk on stage to this day. Whatever little bit of success I've had is because what Dana taught me. She was a "present" that was given to me and will always remain in my heart. Both Richard and I had a real privilege to share her friendship and love. And performing on stage with her, was a dream come true.

Name one thing you’ve learned about yourself during this

pandemic?
This is a tough question. I'm a free spirit. I spend many hours working and rehearsing all the time. But I always didn't think that way. I need to be rehearsed, especially musically. I've learned that you can't feel comfortable on stage in front of an audience it you're not prepared. 

I've found very honestly, that as you get older it takes a little more time to prepare. 
So, I've learned that now I need to start rehearsing and planning well in advance of all of my material so that I'm ready to give every audience all that I've got. It's on thing to "wing" it when you have to but remember, you need the "chutzpah" to make it work. (I learned that from both Marty Allen and Totie Fields).

What song(s) are you currently listening to during this time?
I'm always in tune with Broadway melodies and looking for songs I've never sung that will now fit my voice and age. My favorite songs now of course are those sung by Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Matt Monro, Steve Lawrence, Perry Como to name a few. Especially the "Vegas Sound".
They make me feel good and when I perform them, I get this wonderful feeling throughout my body and I realize how happy I am on stage.

Do you believe our spirit lives on after we pass on?

Absolutely. I only hope that when my time comes to leave this precious world, (and I hope it doesn't happen for a very long time) that I come back somehow and be able to watch whomever is lucky to have a little of me in them so I watch them perform. 

Dana and I used to talk about that happening together. We would come back and take over their show and do them and they'd never even know. But no question that I do believe that our spirits live on, or at least I hope so.

What do you wish to be remembered for?

That I made people happy. Not only my audiences, but my friends and family. For example, whenever I've had the good fortune of be in some of your  shows. I'd always give it all that I've I got. And why not, when you produce such terrific shows along with Russ Woolley, you and your audience deserve that. 

And of course all of the many other Variety Shows that I've been in, I want them to know how much I've appreciated my stage time. Working with Patricia Fitzpatrick is a pleasure. Especially writing material for her shows. And of course after a show, especially in Florida, when it's over you've got to do the "meet and greet". Some performers complain about it, I love it. Thanking your audience is so important. I want them to know how much I appreciate them. I truly do. 

Without them, what would we do? To this day, and I've been performing for over four decades, whenever I'm in the audience I always say to myself "I wish I was up stage". I guess it all comes down to this. I try to be humble and when I perform, I hope the audience says, "he really made me forget all the problems of the world, my aches and pains and I'd just love him". I have a huge ego, but I'm really very nice and humble...

Lighting round! Describe each of the following in one word: Who you are, what you value the most, and what you’d be if you were a food item.
Who are you-Friend
What I value the most- Family
Food item-Jelly Donut, alright it's two words

What do you like least? Leg of lamb. Hate the taste and the aroma destroys me. Besides, how

could eat "Bambi".

What do you wish to be remembered for? A loyal friend and someone you can depend on. Always willing to do something nice for someone else!

How do you create a strategy to continue the drive and ambition

to continue to perform?
Because it's what we are made of.
Some people are meant to be doctors, teachers, train engineers and some are born to entertain. It's in our DNA.
Some people can try to be funny but, no matter how hard they try they can't because they just don't have it in them. That goes for singing as well.
My strategy is my inner drive that keeps me going to want more. It's this constant feeling that I have deep in my soul that powers my ambition to keep on working at what I love to

do the most, perform. It doesn't stop and never goes away.
What would happen today if all the scientists who are trying to come up with a medication to stop this virus stopped working because they didn't have the drive and ambition to continue to do what they've been trained to do all their life?
So, as long as I have a breath in my soul, my strategy is to always keep my motor running and put it into drive, which will allow me the privilege to continue to perform.

Thank you, Warren Schein!, for the gifts you have given to the world and will continue to give.

Now, everyone, please go and and do something nice for someone without expecting anything in return! Go to the 8th friend in your friend's list and call them! We're ALL in this together! Till tomorrow...

I met Richard Skipper at a cocktail party given by KT Sullivan and
Steve Downy last week. We had a brief conversation on the terrace as I was taking photos of the view from the 34th floor of the city at night.  Richard was the brightest light, as we made friends and decided to keep in touch. His charisma and charm was over the top.

Happy Saturday, August 26th, 2017!

I'm having an awesome day! How is yours? 
August 26 is the 238th day of the year. There are 127 days remaining until the end of the year.
Today in 1965 Sonny and Cher hit no. 1 on the UK singles I Got You Babe. 

CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Keke Palmer, 24; Macaulay Culkin, 37; Chris Pine, 37; Melissa McCarthy, 47.

Welcome to Richard Skipper Celebrates...celebrating the best that the world of entertainment has to offer. 
 I live my life with 'yes' in my head, on my lips, and in my heart more often than 'no'. When I receive an invitation, I open my calendar to see my availability and it is very simple. 

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex, overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one. — Mark Twain

I commit or I'm not available. 
I do realize that life events that take us off course, but why is this so hard?

I'm not asking anyone to do anything that I don't already do myself.

Just try it and see how it will transform your lives. Commitment and interaction are something I take very seriously.  

Just today, I had someone say, "It will have to be last minute, I don't plan that far in advance.

How do people plan weddings, shows, parties, vacations, etc. COMMIT TO YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, LOVED ONES! 

Once in a while, it might be reciprocated.
I love to chat about everything under the Sun, but sometimes some of the talk comes across a little like a sermon delivered by a very high-powered preacher.

I'm trying to move with the moment, and just let the discussion flow. Remember that your voice is just as important as mine or the next person's.
As I'm writing these words, I just saw this post on Facebook:

 Interesting how one chapter ends and a new one begins. 2 years ago a new chapter began, Music has been my full time career . Excited to discuss my work leading potential opportunity.
Whatever the outcome, I would not have spoken with this person if I took NO for an answer.
Never take NO for an answer!
Interesting that I'm not the only one on this page today! 

I had someone tell me a while ago that because of illness, he can only commit to an event day of!

If I accepted every invitation, I would never be home! 
I'm not talking just about invitations to dinners, lunches, brunches, and an occasional party.

 I'm also talking about invitations to shows and special events. Trust me, I want to go to so much

With Warren Schein

more.

It’s 'back-to-school' season. Shows are competing for audiences...and I, too, am part of that competition. 

However, finances are an issue, time is an issue, and my husband, Danny, is an issue. It would not be fair to do this to him every night. There is another factor, logistics. I live in Rockland County.

I don't drive, and the buses stop running at 10PM. That being said, I will continue to be there cheering as many artists as I can feasibly fit into my schedule. 

As I sat down to begin today's blog, I was listening to the 50s channel on Sirius XM Radio, more specifically, Buzz Clifford's Babysitting Boogie! My Horoscope tells me that some facts that I may need for certain projects might prove elusive today.

That's OK with me. It's a Saturday, Mercury is in retrograde, and I really go into full throttle when the retrograde ends on the 6th.

No matter what website or periodical I consult, I come across some interesting stuff but not exactly what I'm looking for. 

Sometimes I spend too much time looking for the impossible.

I feel very full of the magic of life.

You have the possibility of having a good day, but if you say that you are going to take your dearest to Paris for lunch, then mean it - otherwise there could be problems.

Your most practical ideas are the ones that will win you the most points. Earn favor with others by letting your best side of you shine through.
This is a day when I have good reason to be satisfied with the results of my efforts.
On the other hand, I'm also looking at my whole approach to my physical health and saying "Yuck!" and "C'mon, step it up!"
One small step that is important for me to take, is a serious look at posture - especially when I am at my desk.

Find out who you are and be that person. That's what your soul was put on this Earth to be. Find that truth, live that truth and everything else will come.
 —Ellen DeGeneres

What a Loved ones may think that you're ill, upset, or even angry. time. Everybody just hang in there.

This has already been a busy productive day.  
I'm very excited about the next season.  It is not just about me on the boards. Check out these other great artists and events. Please go see them. Tell them I sent you!

I mentioned in an earlier blog this week that I am appearing in Randi Levine-Miller's“Showstopper Divas” and “Divos” concert on September 18th. Here is another reminder and I hope you will attend. I am in really great company!

Celebrated for their mix of humor and high-octane singing, Levine-Miller’s “Showstopper Divas” and “Divos” concerts have been a staple of the New York charity nightclub scene for years.  “Usually I like to do male or female versions of these concerts,” says Levine-Miller, a former national publicity executive who overcame paralyzing stage fright to become a singer herself. “But it’s the most fun when I do a balancing act with my favorite stars and scene stealers of both sexes,” says Levine-Miller, who, in addition to hosting and producing the Showstopper concerts and the Tomatoes Got Talent singing competition, is the host of the monthly Randie’s Roundtable Showfolks Luncheons at Sardi’s. 

Emmett Kelly

You could say Jerry Adler is “in transition,” preparing for yet another chapter of a rich and varied theatrical life.

It’s one that has seen him as a stage manager (including the original “My Fair Lady”), Broadway director and commercial producer. Finally, at the age when many retire, he began an acting career that resulted with such memorable continuing roles as the Jewish mobster Hesh in “The Sopranos,” as Mr. Wicker, the building super, in ”Mad About You,” and most recently, as Howard Lyman, the politically incorrect law partner in “The Good Wife.”  (Read MORE)

Social media is an increasing part of every business, including the theater business. There is some debate about what it means for ticket sales, but it is clear that it can mean a lot to increase actors' profiles. Actors who would have only been truly known by a select group of theater insiders have thousands of followers on Twitter and Instagram. Some report being asked about those numbers, and Facebook fan page likes, by casting directors and directors. But it's not necessarily easy for actors to share on social media. There are some impediments. READ MORE

What a wonderful afternoon at "Richard Skipper Celebrates" at the Laurie Beechman Theatre on June 18th.

Do you remember Johnny Carson and the Tonight Show or WNEW AM from years ago.This show brought me back to those days. Besides being a wonderful entertainer, Richard is an fascinating interviewer. His guests in this show included Sarah Rice and Mark Watson, David Sabella, Warren Schein and special guest Sharon McNight.

It's been such a long time since I have seen such a wonderful show.

I was recently lucky enough to attend *Richard Skipper Celebrates the Songs of World War II,* held on Armed Forces Day in May. Richard is in his element as the perfect host – welcoming, relaxed, knowledgeable, and funny. Joining Richard’s party were Diane J Findlay, Sue Matsuki, and KT Sullivan, plus mystery guests Carole Demas and Ruby Rakos.

Ben Rimalower to Return to New York City With Patti Issues and Bad With Money!

They were first-rate, and sang the heck out of their vintage selections, including some expected classics, and some less well-known songs. Richard Skipper Celebrates is clearly inspired by the old TV variety shows, and by Richard’s intense love for music, performers, and entertainment history. The brunch show at the Laurie Beechman Theatre left me happy, informed, and wanting to celebrate with Richard Skipper again and again.

My mission is to celebrate YOU!

Most of all, I was reminded of exactly what it was that I loved about Cabaret as a genre: at its best, there is an intimacy about it that leads to an intense bond between performer and audience that I have seldom seen elsewhere.
Maya Amis, Jackson Heights, NY

Richard Skipper Celebrates... at the Laurie Beechman Theatre is a delight of a show. You are always guaranteed stellar performances, wonderful stories, and a lot of belly laughs. I walk away from every show having received an education - finding new appreciation for the music featured that month.
