I wanted to follow up with you after the incredible Drinkin'-Singin'-Swingin’ Salute to Frank Sinatra-Sammy Davis Jr.-Dean Martin show you and your team put on for our client's 80th surprise birthday celebration. It was more than we could have imagined. When we asked if you could include a few jokes tailored towards our client, we had no idea how much effort you would put into the "roast". You managed to cover all the topics near and dear to them as well as include several family members. It truly felt like a fully customized show which worked perfectly with the overall makeup of all the guests. Even the servers and caterers were having a hard time keeping a straight face.

The 12 piece band was amazing and all the performers, especially you, were so professional, talented, and really put on a world class act. You made the evening a very special event, one that I know our clients and their family and friends will remember for a lifetime.

We look forward to working with you again, knowing that whatever production we request will be top notch.

Thank you so much for helping me throw "The World's Biggest Happy Hour." Your participation helped make the event a huge success. There is no other city in the world that can call upon such a tremendous group of talented entertainers and showcase them all on one stage. This event was able to convey why Las Vegas is named the "Entertainment Capital of the World."

Bombay Sapphire Gin and Southern Wine and Spirits made it possible for us to raise money for charity while raising our glasses to toast the City of Las Vegas. What a great party! I certainly hope that you had a fantastic time.

Again, I thank you for making the evening so very memorable for me. Your talents brought so much life and energy to the party and it would not have been the same without you. I am truly the happiest Mayor in the world!

I just wanted to extend my sincerest thanks to you and the crew for providing top notch ["Drinkin'-Singin'-Swingin' Salute to Frank Sinatra-Sammy Davis Jr.-Dean Martin"] performance at the Aladdin Hotel on October 25th!

I know that we pulled you in at the 11th hour and having said this, you, Steve and Doug learned your lines, learned the blocking as well as the songs within a 48 hour period – this was a phenomenal thing to watch.

You are obviously seasoned professionals and wouldn't hesitate to call on you again for a performance. Thanks for putting on quite a show. My client couldn't have been happier!

I just wanted to take a second and drop you a note regarding the performances of Frank, Sammy & Dean: Hear and Now held at our casino last month.

All three of you gentlemen provided the customers attending the show a truly wonderful experience, allowing them to return to their glory days of yesteryear and enjoy timeless classics they grew up to love and enjoy. Everything from the vocals to the mannerisms to the stage presence and audience interaction was truly reminiscent of the actual Frank, Sammy & Dean from years past.

Customer response has been great and the demand to bring the show back to Belterra is fantastic. This show is a truly a throwback to the old days of Vegas, and the impact on the customers was great. We look forward to working with you again and wish you the best of luck.

Thank you very much the great performances and the effect you had on our customers.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Rick Michel, who brought his ["Drinkin'-Singin'-Swingin' Salute to Frank Sinatra-Sammy Davis Jr.-Dean Martin"] show to San Diego for Bollotta Entertainment and one of our most discerning clients.

A DMC, our client had been working with their client to turn an ordinary recognition event into a compelling presentation sure to keep the attendees' focus. In such, the DMC promised their client a segmented show that would be seamlessly woven into the award presentation. This was negotiated prior to contracting Rick Michel.

What impressed me so about Rick, is that from the onset, he was able and willing to "go with the flow." Although his Rat Pack show wasn't formatted for segmented viewing, he made the necessary alterations to make it so.

And what a show it was! Superb vocal and physical impersonations, driven by that famous "devil-may-care," attitude that mode the Rat Pack so popular back in the 1960s. As uncanny as it seems, it truly felt like were transported back in time.

Some impersonators possess the appropriate skills to recreate, with supreme likeness, an artist's repertoire. Few others embody the essence of the artist and in such, bring him or her to life. Rick Michel and his company of professionals do the latter.

And what's more, Rick was so very easy with which to work. I would hire him again in a New York minute, and look forward to future opportunities to work together.

I just wanted to let you know what a pleasure it has been to work with you and your show "Frank-Sammy-Dean - Hear and Now". Our first experience was great, our second experience was greater.

The show was fantastic, the crowds were ecstatic and our gamblers were happy! Not only were you easy to work with but our customers loved your wide variety of music, comedy and class! The audience interaction with our guests made such an impact that we are still hearing about it.

Thank you again and hopefully we will see you soon!

I wanted to send you a quick note and say thank you for your time and effort concerning our ["Drinkin'-Singin'-Swingin' Salute to Frank Sinatra-Sammy Davis Jr.-Dean Martin"] show on 3/13/2004. It was a pleasure to work with you and your team. In my opinion the entire show went extremely well and the response from our guests was very positive. The show performers were very authentic and totally met our customer's expectations. I would definitely recommend you to other Harrah's properties. Please free to use this letter as a point of reference for future opportunities. I am also willing to give a show description or performance critic over the phone.

It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Rick Michel and his ["Drinkin'-Singin'-Swingin' Salute to Frank Sinatra-Sammy Davis Jr.-Dean Martin"] for your casino or hotel.

I hired Rick for our 2006 Pre New Year's parties as well as our New Year's Eve Parties. I also went on to have him in our showroom for two weeks in January of 2007.

During our Pre-New Year's and New Year's Eve private show events, we had such a buzz about this salute to the […] show, our January […] sales and direct mail event response rate spiked. Our January 2007 direct mail response rate was approximately1% higher (WOW!) than our 2006 January show and our January 2007 showroom sales were up approximately 21% compared to prior year!

Our players and guests were completely entertained with the performances of all three principle acts ("Frank, Sammy and Dean") and the 12 piece jazz band really added that extra punch to the show.

Let me say that I have no doubt with the proper marketing (Rick does a great interview), Rick Michel's show will be a complete success at your establishment.

I'm looking forward to having this show again here in the fall!

In December of 2004 we purchased a ["Drinkin'-Singin'-Swingin' Salute to Frank Sinatra-Sammy Davis Jr.-Dean Martin"] show from Rick Michel that was intended to drive casino play and cash revenue from ticket sales. This event topped our expectations in both of these categories largely due to the unique guest experience that this event offered and the authenticity of the production. Viewing this act is truly a unique experience paralleled only by seeing the authentic Rat Pack shows many years ago.

Mr. Michel and his crew are not only great performers, but are also a maintenance free show as attested by their professionalism. I highly recommend this show for your venue.

Just wanted to drop you a note to say how wonderful your performance was at my "special" party.

Your impersonations were fabulous (particularly Dean Martin & Frank Sinatra) but all of them combined to make it a truly stand out show.

If you ever need a personal reference as to your work, I would be delighted to help. Your show was great, you look great, and you are punctual, easy to work with and a crowd pleaser.

Thanks for being a big part in the party's success, I can't tell you how many rave letters I have received. Everyone had a good time.

After seeing your Tribute to Frank on DVD I was blown away. Thank you Rick.

Nothing will ever top what you did for my show as the voice of Mr. Sinatra from heaven. I wanted a “One For My Baby" feel for my *Multiplying Bottles Illusion" and you gave me much much more. Thank you Frank . . . I mean Rick . . . you know what I meant.

I just want to take a brief moment to personally congratulate you on the stunning Sinatra Forever concert you performed in Costa Rica.

You have Mr. Sinatra's vocal greatness down to a tee!! No wonder the audience was on its feet cheering you. It was a memorable evening of magical music.

I loved the selections. I loved your styling. I loved the orchestrations. I loved your performance from start to finish.

I wish you much success with the Sinatra Forever tribute as you take it on the road or release it on DVD

It was such a pleasure to work with you in February! The guests at our conference enjoyed your show and are still talking about getting to meet Dean, Rodney and Frank!

Your opening act of our convention really put a great "old Vegas" twist on our show and it was just the right touch that we were looking for. Your Dean Martin is fabulous; classy and almost scary [that] it's so realistic. Rodney Dangerfield is, of course, always a great hit and your rendition and ability to work in facts about New Vision was great!

Last, but certainly not least, Frank Sinatra was a huge success at our gala dinner. The guests loved being able to meet and have pictures taken with "Frank."

You are such a talented entertainer, and I look forward to working with you again.

I just want to say what a pleasure it was doing business with you.

Since last spring when we started preparing for the marketing of our 09-10 season until the appearance date of Drinkin’-Singin’-Swingin’ at the Paramount, you have always been accommodating and very prompt in sending us any information we requested. Many times you responded within the hour. It makes my job so much more enjoyable when the information is sent without delay.

We have had many great shows since I have been here at the Paramount Theatre but I have to say Drinkin’-Singin’-Swingin’ has been both mine and my husband’s favorite show. You had the audience’s attention from before the show started until the well after the show ended. Your interaction in full character in the lobby with the audience prior to the show helped add to the excitement of the evening. Guests enjoyed meeting and obtaining autographs from “Frank, Sammy and Dean” after the show as well.

With the economy as it is, this has been a difficult year for sales. In the Marketing Department it is always our goal to fill the house, which we did. This was such an easy show to market. In talking with the rest of the staff here at the Paramount there has been nothing but accolades on how delightful it was to work with you. That in itself is a testament to you and your show.

Your positive attitude and pleasant personality which was displayed prior to the show continued through your performance that evening and into the days following the show. Thank you again for a truly enjoyable evening of entertainment (experience) and I look forward to doing business with you in the future.

It was great to have you back on the Sycuan Showcase Theatre stage for another run of ["Drinkin'-Singin'-Swingin' Salute to Frank Sinatra-Sammy Davis Jr.-Dean Martin"] shows, this one titled Drinkin'-Singin'-Swingin'. I was concerned, at first, with the change but those concerns proved unfounded the minute you all took the stage. It is a fantastic show!

I make it a point to be stationed outside of the theatre doors when guests leave after a show to get their comments. Everyone was so positive and thoroughly entertained. All of us had such fun working with you and your entire group. We will definitely be rebooking your show.

See you next year!
