They have also been included in?New York's Cabaret Scenes Magazine's "Top Ten Cabaret Acts"?for five consecutive years.
Their recording efforts have been praised by Billboard Magazine, BackStage, Show Business Weekly and Playbill and their duo CD, "Better Two-gether," available on iTunes and amazon.com, has been hailed by critics as "magic," "sensational," and "...the year's best recording."
