About

Jim Caruso's Cast Party is an impromptu variety show that's been running at Birdland in NYC for 14 years - and travels the country celebrating talent!

Story

Cast Party is a wildly popular happening that has brought Broadway glitz and urbane wit to the legendary Birdland in New York City every Monday night since 2003. It is the ultimate spot to mix and mingle with show folk and the people who love them. Cast Party is a hilariously impromptu variety show where showbiz superstars and up-and-comers deliver jaw-dropping musical performances and razzle-dazzle.

Legendary showman Jim Caruso guides the entire affair with razor-sharp humor and the unbridled enthusiasm of an uber-fan. Musical Director Billy Stritch holds court at the ivories, along with Steve Doyle on bass, and Daniel Glass on drums...but the real fun starts when the audience participates in the onstage festivities. Broadway legends, jazzers, cabaret divas, starry-eyed tourists and kids right off the bus take to the stage and entertain each other. If you have a voice, a dream and some sheet music, your Cast Party moment just might be at hand.

Caruso and Stritch have also taken the show on the road, and celebrated talent in London, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Chicago, Austin, Dallas, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Miami, and Delray Beach, as well as very special all-star events at The Town Hall and Jazz at Lincoln Center in Manhattan. Cast Party has been honored with three BroadwayWorld Awards, a MAC Award, Bistro Award, and a Nightlife Award.

I came here for the first time on open mic night and it was amazing. I came with a friend who was gonna sing so we got a table that had a great view of the stage. The drink prices are good. Did not have any food but there is a snack menu. Love the vibe and I think that this would be a great place to bring a date or your significant other... very romantic!

Called and lady answers puts on hold before she gives you a chance to say a word. On hold for over 5 min, then I call again to get the same service. This was very rude; she then proceeds to tell me the price as if she was the queen and I was her subject.

As I age I thought I should revise my review. I still think Birdland is a great Jazz venue. The problem is the food, which is terrible, and the drinks, which could be undrinkable. Don't buy the food. Uncle Ben had better jumbalia. As for drinks, stick with simple ones. The cocktails are made pre-cocktail renaissance style. Meaning they are usually too sweet and fall flat flavor wise. I recommend sticking to wine, beer or straight liquor. If not you'll be OK with a Manhattan, if you specify your whiskey. Again the venue and acts are great. The décor is reminiscent of the mid 20th century, unfortunately so is the food and drink. Keep this in mind and you'll have a great time.
