TV: 'Miranda Sings' at Jim Caruso's CAST PARTY

Jim Caruso's Cast Party at Birdland was the place on a recent Monday night - what with stellar musical talent like 13's Ariana Grande, swinging jazz girls Ann Hampton Callaway and Marilyn Maye, impressionist Louise DuArt in The Audience, and the debut New York appearance of internet superstar Miranda!

In the middle of a performance by Daniel Reichard (Jersey Boys, Candide), Miranda felt it was time for a musical intervention, and stormed the stage to give Reichard an impromptu on-stage coaching.

Danny was only to happy to accept the dazzling diva's words of wisdom, and the packed house enjoyed seeing his progress. You are never too old to learn, right? Then, Miranda showed the Cast Partiers how it's done, with her unique interpretation of the Rodgers & Hammerstein hit, "My Favorite Things," complete with choreography, top hat and scat section.

Birdland offers top-flight jazz in a world class setting, good sight lines and acoustics, elbow room, and a menu ripe with award winning Southern Cuisine.

The midtown Manhattan club has been treated to some of the best jazz on the planet, including memorable sets by such musicians as Oscar Peterson, Pat Metheny, Diana Krall, Roy Haynes, Michel Legrand, Pat Martino, Tony Williams, Hank Jones, Michel Petrucciani, John Pizzarelli, John Scofield, Phoebe Snow, Dave Holland, and Tito Puente, as well as the big bands of Chico O'Farrill, Toshiko Akiyoshi, and Maria Schneider.
