“Jim Caruso’s Cast Party” has brought Broadway glitz and urbane wit to the legendary Birdland in New York City every Monday night since 2003. Showbiz superstars hit the stage alongside up-and-comers, serving up jaw-dropping music and general razzle-dazzle. It’s the ultimate spot to mix and mingle with show folk and the people who love them! Showman Jim Caruso guides the entire affair with razor-sharp humor and the unbridled enthusiasm of an uber-fan. But the real fun starts when the audience participates in the onstage festivities. Broadway legends, jazzers, cabaret divas, starry-eyed tourists, and kids right off the bus storm the stage to entertain each other. If you have a voice, a dream, and some sheet music, your “Cast Party” moment awaits.
“Jim Caruso’s Cast Party” has been honored with four BroadwayWorld Awards, two MAC Awards, a Bistro Award, and a Nightlife Award. The Wall Street Journal raved “Cast Party” is “the gold standard of open mic nights,” The New York Post called it “the coolest thing ever,” and Time Out New York exclaimed “this Party is a vital pulse point of the musical theater bloodstream.” On the occasion of the 20th Anniversary Cast Party at Birdland, Eric Adams, 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."
