As the musical theater and world of performance reeled—along with the rest of us—with cancelled shows and shuttered theaters, song and dance man Jim Caruso pondered what was next for his beloved Broadway community. Along with a twenty-year-old producer, he quickly sprang into action, taking his weekly Cast Party nights, held at legendary jazz club Birdland, and brought them live and online.
Tune in and hear how Jim found new meaning and purpose amid the pandemic; his advice for all of us craving human connection and camaraderie during the social-distancing lock-downs; and discover the inside story of how he manages to wrangle some of the performing industry's brightest lights to set aside their egos and sing and play their hearts out to the delight of audiences around the globe.\
