Cast Party host
Jim Caruso turned one year older this past week, so the Monday night 'extreme' open mic was awash in birthday balloons and party hats. The cast of the Broadway production of
Cat on a Hot Tin Roofshowed up to celebrate their success, and their very own 'Brick,'
Benjamin Walker, performed a very blue/bluesy "New York State Of Mind." Cast member
Emily Bergl showed why she's one of the most popular ladies in cabaret when she sang her heart out, too. Scroll below for photos from the concert!
Cheering the singing Cat cats were actor Ciaran Hinds and Benjamin's wife, actress
Mamie Gummer. Singer
Gloria Loring came just to watch the fun, but finally stormed the stage to sing one of her most beloved hits - "The Facts Of Life" theme song! Jazz superstar
Jane Monheit serenaded the packed house, as did dazzling divas and divos
Carole J. Bufford,
LaTanya Hall,
Daniel Kirkley,
Jenna Esposito,
Jeff Harnar,
Colleen McHugh,
Alysha Umphress,
Natalie Douglas, funny guys Brett Druck and
