Crest Theatre Presents the 'On the Road' Version of Jim Caruso's CAST PARTY

Crest Theatre is proud to announce the return of Jim Caruso's Cast Party with Billy Stritch at the piano. The event will take place on Thursday, March 23 at 8:00pm at the Crest Theatre in Old School Square, 51 North Swinton Avenue in Delray Beach, FL. This will be the fourth time The Crest has welcomed Cast Party to town. Host Caruso says, "Billy and I have been thrilled at the turnout of extraordinary musical talent that has taken part in these magical nights. The audience has been dazzled by top-notch performances of Broadway, jazz and pop tunes. Anything can happen at the Delray Beach Cast Party!"

Jim Caruso's Cast Party, hosted by Caruso and musical director Billy Stritch, celebrates local musical and variety talent. Cast Party is a wildly popular open mic night that has been bringing a sprinkling of Broadway glitz and urbane wit to the legendary Birdland in New York City every Monday night for the past fifteen years. It's a cool cabaret night-out and a hilariously impromptu variety show. Showbiz superstars hit the stage alongside up-and-comers, serving up jaw-dropping music and general razzle-dazzle. The buoyant, sharp and charming Caruso guides the entire affair like an uber-fan, musical genius Billy Stritch holds court at the ivories, and the audience is invited to participate in the festivities! The Wall Street Journal raved, "Cast Party is the gold standard of open mic nights."

Interested open mic participants can learn more about the event and sign up to secure a spot by emailing the host at caruso212@aol.com.

Over the years, Caruso's Cast Party audiences in New York and on the road have been entertained by the likes of Liza Minnelli, Natalie Cole, Martin Short, Carol Channing, Hugh Jackman, Donny Osmond, Chita Rivera, Michael Feinstein, Shirley Bassey, Jon Bon Jovi, Tony Bennett, Paul Shaffer, Ricki Lake, Melissa Manchester, Larry Gatlin and Dame Edna!

Recently, Caruso and Stritch have taken the Party on the road, celebrating local talent in London, San Francisco, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Dallas, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Austin, and on the high seas. Cast Party was also part of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Songbook Series, celebrating the Golden Age of Hollywood with an all-star cast. For more information, visit: www.CastPartyNYC.com.
