Photo Coverage: Leavel, Semmes, Burgess & More Visit Cast Party At Birdland

After Monday night's Nick Adams Broadway at Birdland concert, everyone stuck around for a jam-packed Cast Party, guest hosted by Scott Siegel, stepping in for Jim Caruso who is traveling out of town.

The Jim Caruso hosted 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 directorsTedd 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.
