Jim Caruso's Cast Party

Jim Caruso’s Cast Party is a wildly popular weekly soiree that brings a sprinkling of Broadway glitz and urbane wit to the legendary Birdland in New York City every Monday night. It’s a cool cabaret night-out enlivened by a hilariously impromptu variety show. Showbiz superstars hit the stage alongside up-and-comers, serving up jaw-dropping music and general razzle-dazzle.

For the past eight years, it’s been the ultimate spot to mix and mingle with Manhattan show folk and their fans. Caruso guides the entire affair like a bubbly cruise director, musical directors Tedd Firth or Billy Stritch hold court at the ivories,

If you'd like to sing at the Cast Party, add your name to the performer list starting at about 9:15pm. Bring two copies of your sheet music in the appropriate key: one for the pianist and one for the bass player. The Cast Party allows singers to have friends informally videotape their own performances. If you'd like your video from the Cast Party to be considered for this page, please email a YouTube link to and include "theBestArts" somewhere in the subject line.

Your host, Jim Caruso
