About the Show
Kati Neiheisel brings her love of the Carpenters to Don’t Tell Mama with an encore performance of her show Yesterday…Once More, on what would have been Karen Carpenter’s 75th birthday. Directed by Lina Koutrakos, with musical direction and arrangements by Gregory Toroian, Skip Ward on bass, and David Silliman on drums, the show premiered at Pangea on Friday, October 15, 2021, coinciding with Richard Carpenter’s 75th birthday. The show celebrates the sibling duo and their musical legacy, through songs written by Richard Carpenter and John Bettis, Hal David and Burt Bacharach, Paul Williams and Roger Nichols, Leon Russell and more. BroadwayWorld said, “Gratitude fills the air because Kati Neiheisel is more than equal to the task of representing the legacy of the Carpenters, and that of Karen herself.”
