"A Very Squigs Cast Party" at Birdland Tonight
Whether celebrating opening nights in ink for Broadway.com or reflecting showbiz luminaries on the Lights of Broadway Show Cards, Justin "Squigs" Robertson is happy and grateful to be a part of the Broadway community, carrying on traditions exemplified by the late, great Al Hirschfeld. Part of this amazing community have been the fine folks at Birdland and Cast Party, primarily host-with-the-most Jim Caruso, who has long been a Squigs cheerleader. So for one evening in November, Squigs will sit in at Cast Party and casually draw the cavalcade of talent on the Birdland stage.
Jim Caruso's Cast Party, the weekly showbiz bash/open mic at Birdland has been the place for show people and their fans to rub elbows during a wildly impromptu variety show for fourteen years. Musical director for the event is Billy Stritch, who, after 25 years as Liza Minnelli's pianist/conductor, has joined forces with Tony Bennett on the road. But every Monday, he leads the "Cast Party Symphony Orchestra, which includes Steve Doyle on bass and Daniel Glass on drums. Recently, Jim and Billy have taken the Party on the road, celebrating talent in London, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas, Austin, and on the high seas.
