The evening featured Stritch Tony Award-winner Christine Ebersole, Stephanie J. Block, Sally Mayes and Klea Blackhurst.

He has arranged for, produced and performed onstage with Liza Minnelli, Christine Ebersole, Marilyn Maye and Charles Aznavour, and was guest conductor for "The Rosie O'Donnell Show." As a composer, Stritch co-penned the 1994 Grammy Award-winning country song, "Does He Love You?" recorded by Reba McIntire and Linda Davis, which has sold over four million copies nationwide. The song was named one of the Top Ten Country Songs of 1994. Stritch has headlined in every famed nightspot in Manhattan, including Birdland, Birdland.
