Photo Coverage: Katharine McPhee & Erich Bergen Surprise The Susie Mosher Lineup Audience at Birdland Theater

On the Television show "Lets Make A Deal" you're only a winner if you open one door. At Birdland last night you were a winner no matter what door you opened. On the legendary Jazz Stage it was John Pizzarelli with The Swing 7, arguably the most talented guitarist/vocalist/comic performer on the planet. The door to the new Birdland Theater brought you into Susie Mosher's Lineup. A room full of celebs and lucky New Yorkers got to see an "insane" guest list of phenomenal performers during her wild, semi structured variety show. Both doors at Birdland led you to superlative entertainment last night but the surprise guests direct from the Broadway Stage of Waitress, Erich Bergen (Jersey Boys, Madame Secretary) and Katharine McPhee ( TV, Smash, Scorpion) made you a winner if you also chose the door to the Birdland Theater.

Susie Mosher's microphone may not be as open as Jim Caruso's one at the Monday night Cast Party, but the same spontaneous, exciting and hilarious entertainment fill the room.

Besides the surprise guests last night, appearing in The Lineup were: Christina Bianco, Michelle Dowdy, Kimberley Locke, Laura Harrison & Keith Harrison, Loni Ackerman, Michael Musto, Samia Finnerty, Stone and Stone, Staci Gruber, Brennley Brown, Corey Mach, and T. Oliver Reid.

If all this wasn't enough star power, musical director for the evening was American Idol's Michael Orland with his precision laser focused piano accompaniments.

I didn't win the Susie Mosher Lineup Mouse Pad but I was definitely a winner picking the doors at Birdland last night.
