Jim Caruso's Cast Party, the mother of all open mic night/variety shows has taken to the web, and it's required watching for lovers of Broadway, jazz and cabaret.
The upcoming "Pajama Cast Party" will take place on Monday, July 27, and will feature Olivier Award-winning Broadway leading lady Lesli Margherita, jazz vocalist extraordinaire Tierney Sutton, violinist Edmund Bagnell, singer/host Matthew Rodin, soul singer CJ Emmons, and conductor/producer Brian Eads.
For seventeen years, host Jim Caruso has played equal parts showman, maestro, concierge and positive force for musical good with his "Cast Party" every Monday at Birdland in New York City. With the club shuttered due to the pandemic, Caruso has wasted no time in storming YouTube, thanks to the technical know-how of producer Ruby Locknar.
The episodes can also be seen on the Birdland Jazz Club Facebook page. More information can be found at www.PajamaCastParty.com.
