Caruso, Hoty, Epperson et al. Throw a 'Kay Thompson Party' at Birdland 11/30

Kay Thompson will be the toast of the evening as Jim Caruso, Dee Hoty, John Epperson and others celebrate her years as a ground-breaking vocal arranger and musical director/vocal coach at MGM Studios, during an open-mike party at Birdland on November 30.

The musical event coincides with the release of Sepia Record's three CD set Kay Thompson: Think Pink!

Lending their talents to the evening will also be Ruth Williamson, Dori Legg, Billy Stritch, Peter Morton, Hilary Knight, and Mart Crowley.

Many surprises await the attendees as various giveaways, including copies of Eloise, Thompson's children' books, will be given out.

Jim Caruso'S CAST PARTY is a wildly popular weekly soiree that brings a sprinkling of Broadway glitz and urbane wit to the legendary Birdland in New York City every Monday night. It's a cool cabaret night-out enlivened by a hilariously impromptu variety show. Showbiz superstars hit the stage alongside up-and-comers, serving up jaw-dropping music and general razzle-dazzle.

For the past five years, it's been the ultimate spot to mix and mingle with Manhattan show folk and their fans. Caruso guides the entire affair like a bubbly cruise director, musical directors Tedd Firth or Billy Stritch hold court at the ivories, Steve Doyle bops on bass, and The Audience is invited to participate in the festivities! It's the party that would happen if somehow David Letterman and Ed Sullivan threw a hip house party around the nine-foot concert grand piano!

Birdland is located at 315 West 44th Street, between 8th & 9th Aves. For information visit www.BirdlandJazz.com or by Telephone 581-3080.
