There's really no other way to describe Rachelle Rak other than calling her 'a living, breathing phenomenon.' Over the years she's become nationally known for her incredible work as an electricity-riddled dancer and singer on Broadway in such shows as Fosse, Cats, and Starlight Express, as well as a recent highly acclaimed turn as Sheila in A Chorus Line at Paper Mill Playhouse. She's also become instantly recognizable by legions of young theatrical hopefuls for her appearances on the reality-TV program Dance Moms and its companion series, Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition. But on top of all that she has completely conquered the world of cabaret with her show Sas With One S, which premiered at 54 Below on the evening of January 4th and will return on January 29th.
