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.
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.
The Cast Party will once again be held every Monday evening starting July 5 at 8:00 PM. Caruso will move his popular virtual variety show 'Pajama Cast Party' to Wednesdays at 8:00 PM beginning July 7. Learn more about how to purchase tickets to the in-person shows here!
