All
Hail the Gods of the Computers! Mr. iBook is back up and running...this
time with an attractive external hard-drive attached, so the agony of
lost files never happens again. Wasn't life easier when we communicated
with tom-toms? Anyway, last week's Cast Party was a ball,
with Mark Berman and Steve Doyle making
up the Cast Party Symphony Orchestra, and this lapsed
Italian learning the meaning of the word 'gavone.'
The cast of Musical of Musicals (The Musical)
kicked things off with their hilarious Rodgers & Hammerstein
send-up, "Corn." Big-time StarSearch winner
Jake Simpson
(above, with Cast Party Gold Club Members Brian Nash,
John Pinckard, AJ Irvin, and Natalie
Douglas) wowed everyone with his 3-octave range, Alyson
Williams sang the blues, and Bob Dolfin sang
and tapped his way through several yards of carpeting. Our youngest, and
definitely cutest, Party-er (below) couldn't take her eyes off
her jazzy grandma, Lodi Carr, who brought the room to
a standstill with her awesome vocals.
If
you don't have reservations for Monday's 7pm Victoria
Shaw concert, what are you waiting for? The pop/country songwriter
is responsible for over 65 million cd sales! As a singer, she opened for
Garth Brooks at the historic 1997 Central Park
concert, and also wrote his biggest hit of all-time, "The
River." Victoria's show, "Under The Covers,"
co-stars Mark Hudson, Gary Burr and
Billy Mann, who have written some of the biggest hits
of all time. Come hear the stories behind the songs! Call the club at
212-581.3080 for reservations. The following Cast
Party will be swell, too, with the return of Billy Stritch
at the Bosendorfer, and Steve Doyle on bass. We're also
looking forward to seeing a bunch of glamour travelers from Tango
Diva, who will be celebrating their jetset-ness with us.
And we can't wait to see you, too!
Once again, this week's Cast Party Radio Show celebrates
The
New Season at Birdland, with songs
from all of our upcoming guest performers. Maureen McGovern,
Jeff Daniels, Larry O'Keefe, Victoria
Shaw (right), Stephanie D'Abruzzo,
Toxic Audio, Christine Andreas, Malcolm
Gets, Max von Essen and Christine
Ebersole will all be representin' their Birdland
concerts. Victoria, who’s responsible for over 65 million cd sales,
will be at Birdland on Monday, May 16th
at 7pm in Under The Covers with Victoria
Shaw, co-starring her multi-million-selling composer pals,
Mark Hudson, Gary Burr and Billy
Mann!

Party IS New York!"
Cast Party Radio Show is produced by Brian
Wilson at SoHa
Media.
"The Party simply
glows with New York nightlife ambiance. It feels like a throwback to another
era but it has this era's top-notch entertainers dropping in to schmooze,
sing, eat, and drink. Caruso consistently provides a
flow of exciting singers, and he's definitely hip, cool and classy all
by himself."
