2018 MAC Award Nominee Deborah Zecher brings her new cabaret show-Jewish Caroling: The Music of Carole King, Carole Bayer Sager and Carolyn Leigh back to Don't Tell Mama for two more performances: March 9 at 7 pm and May 8 at 7 pm.
Jewish Caroling celebrates the work of King, Bayer Sager, and Leigh, extraordinary songwriters, all Jewish women who share (more or less) the same first name. Carole King's Tapestry celebrated the 50th anniversary of its release in 2021 and the songs are as beloved today as they were 50 years ago. Carole Bayer Sager is renowned for having collaborated with just about everyone in show business and Carolyn Leigh has given us some great American standards like When In Rome and Young At Heart.
"ingenious...Deborah Zecher has created a wonderful tribute show to three different women who left their stamp (if not a changed nature) on the music industry...Deborah Zecher is SO doggone likable! She, like her new show, is divine." Stephen Mosher, Broadway World
