For more than two decades, Jim Caruso’s Cast Party has been one of New York City’s most beloved and celebrated theatrical institutions—a glittering gathering place where Broadway stars, jazz legends, cabaret artists, rising talent, and surprise celebrity guests come together for an evening unlike any other.
Now, for the very first time, this legendary New York phenomenon comes to Florence.
Hosted by Broadway favorite Jim Caruso, acclaimed entertainer, recording artist, and longtime master of ceremonies, and featuring the incomparable Billy Stritch at the piano, Cast Party has become a cherished tradition of the New York entertainment world. For years it has attracted Tony Award winners, television stars, jazz icons, international performers, and emerging talents, all sharing the same stage in an atmosphere of spontaneity, sophistication, and pure theatrical magic.
What began as an intimate gathering of performers evolved into one of Manhattan’s most talked-about nights, earning a reputation as the place where Broadway lets its hair down, where future stars are discovered, and where unforgettable moments happen without warning.
Part concert, part cabaret, part celebration, and part theatrical happening, Cast Party is unlike any performance you’ll ever attend. Every evening is unique. Every guest is a surprise. Every moment is alive with possibility.
For this special Florence edition, audiences will experience the excitement, glamour, and unpredictability that have made Cast Party a New York institution, now presented in the historic elegance of the Teatro Niccolini.
