"Jim Caruso's Cast Party," the mother of all open mic night/variety shows has taken to to the web, and it's required watching for lovers of Broadway, jazz, and cabaret.
The next episode of "Jim Caruso's Pajama Cast Party" takes place on Monday, July 6 at 8 pm EDT, and will feature jazz pianist/singer Tony DeSare, Broadway funnyman Jason Graae, singer/talk show host Giada Valenti, blues singer Ms. Blue, Broadway singer/dancer Ty Stephens and from TV's "The Voice," Lilli Passero.
For seventeen years, host Jim Caruso has played equal parts showman, maestro, wizard, 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.
