CHICAGO is BACK IN TOWN and after 25 years, CHICAGO is still the one musical with everything that makes Broadway shimmy-shake: a universal tale of fame, fortune, and all that jazz, with one show stopping song after another and the most astonishing dancing you've ever seen. 

The 25th anniversary non-equity tour of Chicago will launch next month, with complete casting now confirmed.

The ten-piece ensemble is bold and brassy. They are placed prominently and permanently onstage with good reason. They serve as the engine that propels the story.

The Boys are back! Mama's Boys, that is. And their Eighties-themed show had the Don't Tell Mama clientele screaming and cheering on Friday night.

The popular Boy Band of the cabaret scene is back with a fun new show, and they can be found at Mama's on June 3rd. Today, though, they can be found chatting with Broadway World Cabaret.

The popular boy group returns to the scene of the crime: the cabaret club where they were first formed and their hit show played, before the pandemic

There is no finer feeling than being in your local home-away-from-home enjoying cocktails, companionship, and crooning from everyone willing to raise their voice in song... or drunk enough to. Don't Tell Mama's front-room piano bar is still the place to be after all these years.

Get ready for a virtual cabaret extravaganza! It's an epic evening of song brought to you by the talents of Don't Tell Mama, a New York piano bar mainstay.

With the Coronavirus stopping all social gatherings and causing the closing of Don't Tell Mama for the duration, MAC has made a change from the previously announced event which was to be held at the club.

The MAC Awards were scheduled to be celebrated on March 30th at Sony Hall. Instead they will be announced via Facebook Live from Lennie Watts' home. The times are a little different now, but the celebration of art is the same.
