Jim Caruso is known for hosting the weekly Jim Caruso’s Cast Party at New York’s historic Birdland for more than twenty years. Birdland is a vibrant scene where Broadway stars and aspiring artists come together for a great time. In addition to his successful solo career, Billy Stritch is renowned as the musical director and accompanist for artists like Liza Minelli, Tony Bennett, Marilyn Maye, Linda Lavin, and Christine Ebersole.

The evening begins at 6pm in the Grand Lobby with cocktails and heavy hors d’oeuvres. Then we’ll continue the night onstage with “Caruso – Cocktails – Canapes & Stritch.”

Please be sure to secure your tickets, as we only have 192 seats available.
