Zecher & Zecher-Ross' FAMILY MATTERS, Celebrating Rodgers, Rodgers & Guettel, to Return to Don't Tell Mama

After two sold-out performances in April, MAC Award Nominee Deborah Zecher and her son, NYC music director and conductor, Joshua Zecher-Ross will bring their new cabaret show FAMILY MATTERS: A Celebration of All Things Rodgers, Rodgers & Guettel back to Don't Tell Mama on Sunday, October 27 at 1 pm and Tuesday, November 26 at 7 pm.

FAMILY MATTERS: A Celebration of All Things Rodgers, Rodgers & Guettel is a joyful exploration of the first family of American Musical Theater-Richard Rodgers, his daughter Mary Rodgers and her son/his grandson Adam Guettel. Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein started a musical theater revolution with their production of Oklahoma in 1943 and for the next twenty years, they gave us incredible musicals like Carousel, South Pacific and The Sound of Music. We probably know Mary Rodgers best from Once Upon a Mattress and Adam Guettel is one of the great contemporary musical theater composers with his recent production of Days of Wine and Roses as well as The Light in the Piazza.

Don't Tell Mama is located at 343 West 46th Street. Reservations online at donttellmamanyc.com. There is a $20 cover charge and a $20 minimum which must include 2 drinks. Cash only. $15 Cover for MAC members. Lennie Watts directs and music direction is by Joshua Zecher-Ross.

An avid student of cabaret, Deborah has participated in multiple Singnasium classes and productions as well as Il Chiostro in Venice, Italy and the Cabaret Conference at the Eugene O'Neill Center. She comes to the world of cabaret from a 35 year career as a congregational rabbi, one of the first 50 women to be ordained in this country. Her new show FAMILY MATTERS: A Celebration of All Things Rodgers, Rodgers & Guettel debuted at Don't Tell Mama in April 2024. She has created this show with her son Joshua Zecher-Ross.
