“The glamorous guest star, Michele Ragusa, who flew in from the East to add spice, sass, excitement and pizzazz to the show. This gal is so gifted, she completely commanded the stage as she delivered the goods and captivated the audience. In fact, when she belted out some of her songs, she was reminiscent of Judy Garland. You want Christmas classics? Michele can sing classics. You want musical theater show tunes? Michele is a pro at Broadway theater melodies. You want jazz, scat, or traditional blues? Michele can sing any style that’s asked for. BTW, each time she appeared she was dressed in a different, va-va-voom eye-catching gown."
—Long Beach Gazette
"Ragusa is tremendous. She is a real pro — fresh from Mel Brooks’ “Young Frankenstein,” Falletta announced. You can see what Mel Brooks would love about her — she’s a born comedian, funny and natural, with a clear voice that carries and allows you to catch every word. Stevens - a perfect foil for her… knows enough to let Ragusa be the star and simply be his fine self."

"Ragusa towered over everyone with her strong, sure pipes and assurance......Her delivery, including an impressive array of vaudeville effects, often made me laugh out loud."
—"Funny Girl" Buffalo News
