Kitchen Cafe Dallas will present the return of Jim Caruso's Cast Party on Thursday and Friday, September 11 & 12 from 7:30 - 10:30pm. Called an "extreme open mic" by ABC-TV, Jim Caruso's Cast Party is a wildly popular event that has been bringing Broadway glitz and urbane wit to the legendary Birdland in NYC every Monday for the past eleven years. The hilarious impromptu evening has also been celebrating local talent in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, Austin, and on the high seas. Now, for the second time, Caruso and Stritch are bringing the fun to Dallas, their old stomping grounds! Their May booking was a smashing success, packing a record number of audience members into Kitchen Cafe Dallas.

Kitchen Cafe was proud to present the Dallas debut of Jim Caruso's Cast Party on Thursday and Friday, May 22 and 23. The two sold-out evenings celebrated extraordinary talent from the musical theater, jazz and cabaret communities. As always, Caruso hosted, along with musical director/singer/accompanist Billy Stritch at the piano. Scroll down for photos from the concerts!
