Lena Moy-Borgen: Elder Millenial
Don't Tell Mama343 West 46th Street, New York 10036
Lena Moy-Borgen brings Elder Millenial to Don’t Tell Mama, a cabaret set looking squarely at middle age through the shared reference points of dial-up internet, Saved by the Bell, and the arrival of reading glasses. Expect musical comedy built from mash-ups, jokes, and sequins, with Moy-Borgen as the billed performer. Kelly Wohlford directs, and Katy Pfafll is musical director. The evening is presented as a roughly 65-minute show in the venue’s cabaret room.
Moy-Borgen is identified in the listing as a cabaret artist working in musical comedy. BroadwayWorld calls her “one of the smart ones, one of the gifted ones, one of the brilliant ones who is keeping musical comedy cabaret alive.” That praise fits the premise of Elder Millenial: a comic, song-driven take on the cultural memories and present-tense adjustments of a generation that can recall a modem connecting but now may be reaching for glasses. Beyond the credits for this production and BroadwayWorld’s assessment, the available information does not specify her hometown, previous collaborators, or wider performance history.
Don't Tell Mama offers a distinctive cabaret experience with four separate spaces including a piano bar and two cabaret showrooms, where bartenders and servers often perform live music themselves. The venue features Mediterranean cuisine alongside a full bar, with a cash-only policy for food and drinks. Seating is limited and first come, first served, so arriving early is wise to secure a spot. Shows typically start in the evening with a 2-drink minimum and ticketed entry, often featuring multiple sets and a mix of seasoned headliners and rising talent. The room’s walls and layout create a close connection between performers and audience, making it a place to truly listen and engage with the music. Located on Restaurant Row in the Theater District, it blends dining and entertainment in a lively yet focused setting.
