Photo Flash: Merchant of Venice Actors Let Loose at Jim Caruso's Cast Party


After Lesli Margherita's sold-out “Broad” concert at Birdland last week, there was a wild, celebrity-filled, super-charged Cast Party! As usual, the weekly event, hosted by Jim Caruso (with Billy Stritch at the piano, Daniel Glass on drums and Steve Doyle on bass) took the words “open mic” to a new level. The entire cast of the Lincoln Center's Merchant of Venice showed up to cheer their stars Jonathan Pryce, Giles Terera and Stefan Adigbola in impromptu performances before heading to their run at Kennedy Center. Multi-million record-selling Victoria Shaw, her mother Carol Shaw, and daughter Ruby Locknar all performed. Soul Train Award winner Nicole Henry sang her heart out. World-class trumpet player Dominick Farinaccci dazzled the crowd. Folk-singing superstar Christine Lavin had the audience out of their seats and dancing. Hamilton Award-winning singer Avery Raquel showed off her jazz chops. And theater writer Phillip Boroff sang, then proposed marriage to his girlfriend. (She said yes!) Is it any wonder Cast Party is known as the “come what mayhem” of Manhattan showbiz events?

'The Girly Show,' described as a burlesque vaudeville variety show, brought to life the vibrant energy and sexual liberation of Kander and Ebb's fictitious KitKat Club in 'Cabaret.'. Co-creators Justin Van Pelt and Daniel Lincoln acted as our tour guides through an evening that included Jazz, Opera, Pop, theater standards, hilariously irreverent parody, steamingly sexy dance, and even a number where an innocent audience member was bound to a chair on stage and blindfolded. Though never offensively vulgar, 'The Girly Show' appears intentionally rough around the edges, as if all the makeup and the sparkles are barely concealing a dark underbelly that threatens to erupt at any moment.
