The stars came out on Tuesday for Stritch's opening night at the Carlyle. The veteran stage actress will play the Carlyle for seven weeks, ending her limited engagement Nov. 4. Her new act — featuring such tunes as "The Life of the Party," "To Keep My Love Alive," "You Took Advantage of Me," "Comes Once in a Lifetime," "The Italian Lesson" and "Song on the Sand" — was compiled with her longtime musical director Rob Bowman.
