From November 9th through November 12th at the Metropolitan Room, MAC Award-winning cabaret and theatre star Klea Blackhurst and pianist/singer Billy Stritch paid tribute to the great songwriter in "Dreaming of a Song: The Music of Hoagy Carmichael."

Blackhurst is best known for her acclaimed tribute to "Ethel Merman: Everything the Traffic Will Allow," which has been charming audiences and critics alike nationwide since its New York debut in 2001.  The production earned her the inaugural Special Achievement Award from "Time Out New York" magazine. One of the premier pianists and singers on the New York jazz and cabaret scene, Stritch made his Broadway debut in the 2001 Tony-winning revival of 42nd Street and continues to play to audiences in nightclubs and concert halls around the world. Stritch is also a composer. In 1994, he wrote Reba McEntire's Grammy-winning hit "Does He Love You" and has enjoyed a longtime association with Liza Minnelli as a producer and arranger of her work.
