What a Night! John Kander Tribute

Last night was amazing. We went to a Tribute Concert (for the Vineyard Theater) to John Kander (of Kander and Ebb). The line below was at the finale.

Okay, so... starting from the right, this is who they are and what they sang.
David Hyde Pierce (EmCee and sang Ten Percent from Chicago)
Joel Grey (Wilkomme from Caberet!)
Liza Minnielli (The World Goes Round from New York, New York)
John Kander
Chita Rivera (All That Jazz)
Debra Monk (Everybody's Girl (note: we saw her in Curtains with David Hyde Pierce)
Karen Ziemba (New York, New York (also saw her in Curtains)
Julia Mureny (The Money Tree)
Heidi Blickenstaff (Maybe This Time)
Jason Danieley (I Miss the Music)
Mario Cantone (Chief, Cook and Bottle Washer)
.

Miss Liza from our seats. The World Goes Round is my favorite number to see her sing live. It was wonderful.

Liza, whose costume broke, so she came out in a mink, leg warmers and uggs. She pulled off the Mink and was wearing some awful pullover - and she made fun of herself and sang.
