Hot on the heels of the recent Hollywood debut of CAST PARTY, Jim Caruso, along with musical director Billy Stritch, are thrilled to announce their return to THE MAGIC CASTLE on Wednesday, May 26th. Once again, the event will take place at The Inner Circle at the Castle (700 Franklin Avenue, Hollywood). Doors will open at 6pm for singer's signup, and the Open Mic-style variety show will start at 8pm.

Jim Caruso'S CAST PARTY, a Manhattan mainstay, made an auspicious debut at The Magic Castle on April 1st, packing the Inner Circle Room and turning away hundreds of audience hopefuls. After a full-page color feature in the Sunday LA Times and three hours on the top-rated KTLA Morning Show, the room sold out in record time. Host Caruso and musical director Billy Stritch guided the three-hour ‘extreme' Open Mic, which featured a who's who of talented guests, including performances by Melissa Manchester, Cybill Sheperd, The Tonics, Joely Fisher, Joanne Worley, and Broadway leading man James Barbour.

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 for the past seven years. 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. Cast Party is the ultimate spot to mix and mingle with talented show folk and their fans. The buoyant, sharp and charming Caruso guides the entire affair like a bubbly cruise director, musical genius Billy Stritch holds court at the ivories, 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 a grand piano! www.CastPartyNYC.com
