Stephanie J. Block, Ashley Brown, Christine Ebersole, and Michele Lee are among the artists who will appear this month as part of Jim Caruso’s Broadway at Birdland series, co-sponsored by TheaterMania. All Monday night concerts are followed by Jim Caruso’s Cast Party.

This month’s line-up includes the Broadway Boys with Brown, Antonique Smith, and “The Three Graces” (Sara Gettelfinger, Joy Kabanuck, and Kelly Levesqe) as special guests (July 9), followed by musical director Ron Abel with special guests Lee, Lucie Arnaz and Valarie Pettiford (July 15-16), the Fabulous Pink Flamingos (July 22), Legally Blonde star Laura Bell Bundy (July 23, 30), and pianist-singer Billy Stritch, with Block, Ebersole, Klea Blackhurst, and Sally Mayes as his special guests (July 29).

In August, Natalie Douglas will return to the club with her show “I Sing Because I’m Happy” (August 5-6), and Bundy returns for another performance on August 20. On August 26, The Guytunes — consisting of Broadway’s Jason Michael Snow, Nick Blaemire, and Justin Keyes — will appear, followed on August 27 by Block and Stritch.

Cover charges for the series range from $25 to $35, and all shows have a $10 food/drink minimum. For more information, visit www.birdlandjazz.com.
