Entitled Razzle Dazzle!, the multi-media evenings will include stories from Channing's decades-long career as well as several of her trademark musical numbers and a few other surprises. A benefit for the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center, the concerts at the Renberg Theatre will also include an appearance by British singer-actress-comedienne Toni Morrell, who will offer a tribute to several ladies of song, including Marlene Dietrich and Judy Garland. Show time is 8 PM July 23-24 and 7 PM July 25. One of the true superstars of the American musical theatre, Carol Channing published her autobiography — "Just Lucky I Guess: A Memoir of Sorts" — on the Simon & Schuster label. In addition to her many triumphs — including her Tony for Hello, Dolly! and her Academy Award nomination for "Thoroughly Modern Millie" — Channing's tome also details some of the obstacles she endured, including her long-term food addictions, her battle with cancer and her first marriage to a struggling novelist, Ted Naidish. Channing's other Broadway outings include Lend an Ear, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Lorelei.
