The musical, magical Cast Party, hosted by Jim Caruso, continues at Birdland! After running full-steam for eighteen years, you’d think the energy would have faded a bit. But you’d be wrong!
This past Monday’s Cast Party – the weekly open mic/variety show that has been in residence at Birdland every Monday for eighteen years was yet another celebration of fantastic talent! Host Jim Caruso, along with Billy Stritch on piano, Steve Doyle on bass and Daniel Glass on the drums introduced dozens of singers – young and old, up-and-comers and established – to the packed house.
On Monday, July 19, some uber-talented people stormed the Birdland stage for another installment of Jim Caruso’s Cast Party.
After fifteen months of unwanted hiatus, host/producer Jim Caruso brought his notorious 'Cast Party' back to it's home on the Birdland stage. July 5 marked the return of the wildly popular weekly open mic/variety show that has been bringing Broadway glitz and urbane wit to the historic music room every Monday since 2004.

54 Below Premieres took no chances when they put Marilyn Maye on the stage and told the cameras to roll, and it has paid off, big time. The legendary star shines as brightly as she did all seventy-six times she appeared on Carson.
Marilyn Maye has played big rooms, small rooms, and even tents and driveways, but on May 8th she goes virtual with a new show from Feinstein's/54 Below... and it is worth seeing.
