The cabaret set draws on songs by Annie LeBeaux, Annie Lennox, Bill Zeffiro, Carole King, Jeff Blumenkrantz, Julie Gold, Kenny Loggins, Pat Benatar, Ray Jessel and Ritt Henn, with further selections promised. It is a focused evening of songwriter and pop material, shaped around Moberly’s reading of a varied songbook and presented with Watkins.

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.
