Bryce Edwards News

BIRDLAND JAZZ CLUB will present the singular cabaret artist Maude Maggart in the premiere of her new show “Here Come the Dreamers” on Monday, October 16 at 7:00 PM.

Modern-day Vaudevillian and cabaret star on the rise Bryce Edwards will make his Birdland solo show debut on October 5th.

Veteran CAST PARTY and LINEUP guest Bryce Edwards will finally play Birdland with his own show.

Birdland Theater was all abuzz last week.

On Monday, July 24, Birdland Jazz Club celebrated the landmark 20th Anniversary of its wildly popular weekly open mic night/variety show “Jim Caruso’s Cast Party.” The evening featured regular favorites, as well as special surprise guests. As usual, music director Billy Stritch held court at the ivories, along with Steve Doyle on bass and Daniel Glass on drums. Check out photos here!

It is a true wondrous achievement to have a show every week lasting 20 years, with over 1040 shows and 1840 performers.

June 6th saw another fine time in the Birdland basement

Jim Caruso’s Cast Party, which is about to celebrate two decades at the iconic Birdland in NYC, seems to be entering a Golden Age of entertainment! Over the past few months the room has been packed with audiences eager to cheer the impromptu open mic/variety show made up of Broadway performers, cabaret divas, jazzers, and a few acts impossible-to-describe!

As The Four Seasons once said: Oh, what a night.

Susie Mosher is only doing two shows a month right now, so she makes each one spectacular.

Modern-day vaudevillian Bryce Edwards is the man that people want to see.

Sidney Myer's eponymous show at Pangea is the show to see this month... and any other month in any year.

Amy Irving stopped by THE LINEUP, making the last episode of the year even more magical than it already was.

As Susie Mosher jets out of town for an acting gig, the stars flood the basement at Birdland for one last LINEUP.

MR. HARRIS & MR. EDWARDS (Quintin Harris & Bryce Edwards) will reunite for an evening of shenanigans while they pay homage to classic jazz and The Great American Taking place at Chelsea Table+Stage on October 14th, at 9:30pm.

Every Monday, showbiz superstars hit the stage alongside up-and-comers, serving up jaw-dropping music and general razzle-dazzle on the Birdland stage. Showman Jim Caruso guides the entire affair with razor-sharp humor. Musical director Billy Stritch holds court at the ivories, along with Steve Doyle on bass and Daniel Glass on drums. But the real fun starts when the audience participates in the onstage festivities. Broadway legends, jazzers, cabaret divas, starry-eyed tourists, and kids right off the bus storm the stage to entertain each other. If you have a voice, a dream, and some sheet music, your Cast Party moment awaits. See photos from the show!

“Jim Caruso’s Cast Party” is the weekly Open Mic Night/Variety Show that has been bringing Broadway glitz and urbane wit to Birdland in New York City every Monday night since 2003. Check out new photos!

Chanteuse Artemisia LeFay's original show GHOSTS OF WEIMAR PAST made its highly anticipated Birdland Theater debut to an enthusiastic and packed house last week.

You can’t say Jim Caruso’s Cast Party hasn’t had staying power!  Every Monday night for the past eighteen years, musical talent has been celebrated on the Birdland stage.  Superstars, up-and-comers, Broadway legends, jazzers and cabaret divas have all been in the spotlight and taken a turn at the grand piano.
