Rice also credits her guest appearance at the Royal Variety Performance for the Duke and Duchess of Wales as one of her career highlights.

Her numerous Las Vegas credits include performing with Tony Award winner Billy Porter, Stephen Oremus, Chaka Khan, Melissa Manchester, and Peabo Bryson in the Stevie Wonder musical Signed, Sealed, Delivered at the Venetian and as featured singer in Wayne Brady's show Making Sh*# up!
