Jim Caruso's Cast Party is a wildly popular weekly soirée that has brought a sprinkling of Broadway glitz and urbane wit to the Birdland Jazz Club stage every Monday night since 1993. This hilariously impromptu variety show allows the crowd to rub elbows with show business superstars and up-and-comers, and even take a turn at the grand piano.
