"Rachael
Kroog, an eclectic all-around entertainer, never ceases to surprise at each
Cabaret. This year she brought her friend, her side-kick dummy named
Frederick. The two engaged in silly banter about “Gerioke: Karaoke for
Seniors” before launching into the Roy Orbison
ballad “Blue Bayou.” Frederick stayed by her side, of course, to add his own
made up verses about losing his toupee back on Blue Bayou. Only Kroog could
pull off such a feat keeping the routine fresh, fun and fearless. Savage
offered some great steel guitar, too."
Michael Reinboldt from St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church
"Every year, the question is asked: what will Rachael Kroog do? This year,
the "character" wasn't so much Rachael herself, but her little old puppet
friend Frederick. Rachael chose to take us down "Blue Bayou", but Frederick
had other ideas…a lament about tracking down his toupee which, ahem, blew by
you….have you seen it?"
Wendy Vickers from St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church |
"Wow,
is the first word that comes to mind my mind when I think of Rachael Kroog.
She was a fabulous presenter for our Kindness Assembly. You know it is a
successful program when students are singing the songs and talking about
kindness days after the performance."

"As
a teacher, I appreciate funny and energetic presentations as much as my
students do. Getting the kids involved in the show is a great way to help
them have fun and to give your message more meaning. I appreciate the time
you took to answer their questions and the encouragement you gave
them."

"Rachael
Kroog, entertainer extraordinaire, was able to move our diverse group of
students on a roller coaster of emotion and understanding. Rachael was
able to give our students hope and guidance during her performance because
she found a way to connect with the audience. She was delightful to work
with and was so flexible in listening to our needs and turning it into
action."

"Rachael
Kroog and her band were a true highlight of the 2004 Saint Paul Winter
Carnival Ice Palace. Their customized show got the audience clapping,
waving, jumping and singing. Despite the cold temperatures, she captivated
the crowd with her unique brand of humor and charm, and left them wanting
more. "

"We
really enjoyed your show about kindness! We learned that we can be kind in
many ways. We can show kindness by including people, hugging people,
helping people, and being friends with people. Thank you for coming to our
school. We hope that we can see you again!"
