About Jim Caruso's Pajama Cast Party
"CAST PARTY IS SHOW BIZ HEAVEN!" New York Times
The mother of all open mic night/variety shows has taken to to the web, and it’s required watching for lovers of Broadway, jazz and cabaret every Wednesday at 8pm.
“Jim Caruso’s Pajama Cast Party” has featured stars including Kristin Chenoweth, Betty Buckley, Chita Rivera, Marc Shaiman, Christine Ebersole, Melissa Manchester, Dave Koz, Kathy Najimy, Jane Monheit, Linda Lavin, Jessica Vosk, John Davidson, Mary Wilson, Peter Cincotti, Julie Halston, Victoria Shaw, Billy Stritch, Ty Herndon, Kate Baldwin, Travis Cloer, Telly Leung, Clint Holmes, Cooper Alan, Melissa Errico, Elizabeth Stanley, Mo Rocca, Amanda Green, and Max von Essen have served up musical performances via livestream from their homes.
For seventeen years, host Jim Caruso has played equal parts showman, maestro, wizard, concierge and positive force for musical good with his “Cast Party” every week at Birdland in New York City. With the club shuttered due to the pandemic, Caruso has wasted no time in storming YouTube, thanks to the technical know-how of producer Ruby Locknar.
