Step Into NYC's "Cast Party"
Meet Jim
Step into the world of New York show business alongside Jim Caruso, a Broadway performer, host, and acclaimed entertainer. From the moment you meet him, it’s clear that Jim has lived and shaped the theater, jazz, and music scene in ways few ever do. With quick wit and natural warmth, he invites guests to experience the city through the people, stages, and stories only insiders know.
Inspired by evenings at Liza Minnelli’s legendary home gatherings, where stars like Madonna and Janet Jackson shared music, laughter, and conversation, Jim set out to bring that same spark and camaraderie to New York’s theater district. That vision became Cast Party, a weekly variety show at Birdland jazz club where seasoned Broadway performers and rising talent come together for an unforgettable night. Forbes, The New York Times, and The Los Angeles Times have celebrated the show, calling it “a showbiz mecca” where “the golden era of musical theater lives on.”
Here, you’re invited to go beyond the audience to chat with Jim, laugh along with the band, and feel the energy that brings every show to life.
