Natalie has been part of Cast Party since its very beginning, joining the party through 24 years and every venue it has called home. She has gone on to perform more than 80 solo concerts at Birdland. The award celebrates her extraordinary talent and the warmth, generosity, and steadfast support she has brought to the Cast Party scene from day one. The Cast Party Superstar Award will return as an occasional surprise celebration of the artists who have helped make Monday nights in New York such a joyful and unpredictable gathering. Natalie, naturally, had no idea she was about to start a tradition.
