"[Rayor] charmed the audience  . . . a pitch-perfect chanteuse, dancing through the audience  . . . connecting with young and old alike. . . musicianship was nothing short of superb!" ~ MyEdmondsNews.  

"Rouge is amazing!  The whole experience of working with  them was  exceptional, extremely professional & responsive. Guests raved. . . they loved  Rouge’s sound, energy & dancing!" ~ K. Price, Pacific Northwest Ballet

"The singer/dancer, Janet, is an exquisitely talented combination of Liza Minelli, Juliet Prowse, and Zsa Zsa Gabor. Her vocal range is magnifique, but her mixture of humor and pathos, dramatic gestures, dead pan, comic asides, teasing flirtations and audience connection is electrifying.  Her dancing prowess is a graceful, sensual display of poetic athleticism. The pianist and accordion player are virtuosos in their own right!"  Outdoor concert series presenter John Shepherd '23
