Rice and Demas won a prestigious Bistro Award in 2018.

Rice will also be showing-off her unique theremin skills, singing solos and duets with Carole. The trio is planning on other delights, "Bewitched", "Moonglow", "Moonlight in Vermont" and "Moondance" among them.

These Broadway ladies invite you to join them on Friday night, to sit back, grab a glass of wine, a cup of tea or a scotch; turn up the volume and sing-along at home.
