Lena Moy-Borgen: A Very Jewish Christmas Story
Don't Tell Mama343 West 46th Street, New York 10036
Lena Moy-Borgen brings A Very Jewish Christmas Story to Don't Tell Mama on December 7. The bill identifies the evening by that title and does not list additional performers or a supporting lineup. No further detail is provided about the program, whether it is a solo performance or a collaboration, or the songs and stories it will include. It takes place at Don't Tell Mama, the Restaurant Row cabaret venue with piano-bar and showroom spaces where live music is a central part of the night.
The available material identifies Lena Moy-Borgen as the billed act, but supplies no biographical background, hometown, previous appearances, collaborators, recordings, or career credits. It also provides no account of the musical or theatrical approach behind A Very Jewish Christmas Story, beyond the title itself. There are no reviewer quotations or press descriptions to draw on, and no venue post expands on the performer’s work. What is clear is the setting: Don't Tell Mama presents cabaret performances in dedicated showrooms, alongside its piano bar, and has long made room for both established headliners and emerging performers. For this date, the title and Lena Moy-Borgen’s name are the available introduction to the show.
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.
