$Jim Caruso\u2019s Cast Party with Billy Stritch at the Piano$

Start spreading the news… for twenty-two fabulous years, Jim Caruso’s Cast Party has turned Monday nights at Birdland into a glittering, anything-goes variety spectacular! Every week, Broadway legends, jazz divas, crooners, tap dancers and total surprises collide in the most rollicking open mic on the planet. Jim loves nothing more than to take the celebration on the road, making regular stops to Myron's at The Smith Center, one of his all-time favorite venues. So bring your sheet music, your sass and your A-game…or just grab a cocktail and soak in the razzle-dazzle from the comfort of your seat. It’s the ultimate spot to mix and mingle with talented show folk and their fans. The buoyant, sharp and charming Caruso guides the entire affair, while musical genius Billy Stritch (Liza Minnelli, Tony Bennett) holds court at the ivories. The best part is that the audience is invited to participate in the musical festivities.
On the occasion of the 20th Anniversary of Cast Party at Birdland, the Mayor of the City of New York, proclaimed, “Whereas, I am enormously proud to lead a city renowned as a global capital of the arts. Jim Caruso's Cast Party has enriched our dynamic cultural landscape since 2003, and on the occasion of its 20th anniversary, I am pleased to recognize the weekly show's tremendous contributions to our performing arts and nightlife sectors."
It’s spontaneous. It’s hilarious. It’s musical mayhem at its finest. Cast Party isn’t just a show—it’s a showbiz lovefest.
