Joining her in the festivities are two of her best friends, music director Rob Bowman and actor Hunter Ryan Herdlicka (who appeared with Stritch in the Broadway revival of A Little Night Music).

In a freewheeling conversation, according to press notes, "the legendary Stritch – who triumphed on Broadway in shows including Sail Away, Company and At Liberty, and recently played a pivotal role on TV's '30 Rock' – has her say about Barbara Walters, New York City, Stephen Sondheim, Tina Fey, Bela Lugosi, Judy Garland, and the gift basket that Alec Baldwin sent her after her hip operation. Topping off the celebration, Stritch is presented with a birthday cake by 'Theater Talk''s enraptured co-hosts Michael Riedel of the New York Post and executive producer Susan Haskins, who end the show by looking forward to the extraordinary theater talent's next appearance on the show despite her radical plans for the future."
