In Good Company at Don't Tell Mama NYC

“In Good Company” Brings Rising Voices to Don't Tell Mama

New York, NY — An evening of connection, collaboration, and musical storytelling arrives at Don't Tell Mama with “In Good Company,” a new cabaret featuring acclaimed vocalist and mentor Ron Ramsay, concert and cabaret artist Samantha Talora, and rising performers Bee Gillespie and Hayden Hoffman in their New York City club debut.

Blending seasoned artistry with emerging talent, In Good Company explores the ties that bind us—friendship, ambition, longing, and the search for belonging. Under Ramsay’s guidance, Gillespie and Hoffman take the stage in New York for the first time, offering fresh voices and compelling new perspectives within the intimate cabaret tradition.

The evening features a thoughtfully curated program of musical theater (Daddy Long Legs, Merrily We Roll Along, Dear Evan Hansen) and contemporary favorites, including music by Paul Simon, Oleta Adams and Marcy Heisler & Zina Goldrich.

At its heart, In Good Company is a celebration of artistic mentorship and shared experience—where established performers and rising artists meet on equal footing, and where the audience becomes part of the story. Talora’s luminous vocal clarity and Ramsay’s seasoned presence both vocally and at the piano, provide the evening’s foundation, while Gillespie and Hoffman emerge as exciting new voices to watch.

The evening promises laughter, warmth, and immediacy—an invitation to gather, reflect, and revel in being, quite simply, in good company.
