International Performing Artist Yael Rasooly Comes to Don't Tell Mama

Internationally renowned, multiple award winning performer, Yael Rasooly, brings her newest cabaret show, Love Must Have an End, to Don't Tell Mama for two performances: May 9th at 7pm and May 11th at 4pm. The richly decadent world of the 1920s and '30s in Berlin and Paris is on dazzling display in this performance by Rasooly and Pianist, Daniel Rein.

Audiences are invited into the vibrant world of the German cabaret before the Nazis rose to power, through the repertoire of Brecht and Weill, the Berlin cabaret songs, songs performed by Marlene Dietrich and the poetic French chansons of Edith Piaf. Rasooly and Rein tell the stories of the back streets and alleys, as well as the glamour and exuberance in the final years of the Weimar Republic - stories of longing, grief, love, passion, resilience and dreams in the fragile and powerful interval between the past and the future.

Don't Tell Mama is at West 46th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues. Seats may be reserved online at: https://donttellmamanyc.com/shows?month=5&year=2019&next=1. Phone calls: 212.257.0788 ext 6. Don't Tell Mama is a CASH ONLY ROOM. There is $15 cover charge and two-drink minimum.
