If you’re looking for something a little bolder than your typical night out in Dallas, this might be it.
The Turtle Creek Chorale is kicking off its 46th season with a one-night-only performance that leans fully into the unexpected. Songs We Can’t Sing on Stage arrives Saturday, May 2, offering an adults-only cabaret-style evening that trades formality for fun, edge, and a healthy dose of irreverence.

Hosted by the always-unforgettable Helen Holy, with special guest Denise Lee, this show pulls back the curtain on the kinds of songs that don’t typically make it into a traditional chorale program. Think crowd favorites, hidden gems, and performances that are a little cheeky, a little provocative, and completely entertaining.
This is a chance to see Chorale members in a different light, stepping outside the structure of a formal concert and into something more intimate and expressive. It’s also a nod to the group’s roots, bringing cabaret back to the stage for the first time in more than a decade.
A quick note before you go: this is strictly an adults-only event, with explicit language, partial nudity, and plenty of playful innuendo throughout.
Performances will take place at 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. at Oak Cliff Assembly (919 Morell Avenue). Tickets are $40 and available now at TurtleCreekChorale.com.
For longtime supporters, it’s a fresh take on a beloved Dallas institution. For newcomers, it’s an easy entry point, just expect a little more sparkle, and a lot fewer rules.
