Glen Roven's new Singular Sensations! series of legendary stars in performance and conversation at the Village Theater got off to a great start this week with the amazing Carol Channing (pictured) in spectacular form.

In addition to performing her signature songs -- "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend," "A Little Girl From Little Rock," and "Hello, Dolly!" -- Channing shared many hilarious anecdotes with Roven and with the adoring audience.

The show marked the stage debut of Harry Kullijian, whom Channing met in high school and then lost contact with for more than 60 years. Soon after their reconnection, they were married. Channing continues in Singular Sensations! through this coming weekend; next up is Donna McKechnie, and subsequent programs will showcase such stars as Lainie Kazan, Elaine Paige, Shirley Jones -- and Mickey Rooney!
