Camille Diamond: Camille Sings Tennille
Don't Tell Mama343 West 46th Street, New York 10036
Camille Diamond brings Camille Sings Tennille to Don’t Tell Mama: a cabaret tribute to the music of Toni Tennille. The show centers on Tennille’s songs alongside stories from her career and life. Diamond is billed solo for this approximately 65-minute afternoon performance; no accompanying musicians or other performers are listed for this date.
Diamond is a 2024 MAC Award-winning singer, with earlier listings identifying the honor as Female Debut. Her work in Camille Sings Tennille has previously been presented with musical director Tracy Stark, bassist Matt Scharfglass, drummer Don Kelly, and director Lennie Watts, though that team is not confirmed for this performance. Scott Barbarino of NiteLife Exchange wrote, “Watching Camille Diamond perform is to be a stargazer...bright and steady...she shines!” Another venue-quoted review praised her “crystal clear, mellifluous voice” and “wonderful storytelling abilities.” The available information does not identify where Diamond is from.
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.
