Judy Kuhn did not perform. She was there only as a Vineyard board member.
Performers were Liza, Chita, Mario Cantone, Debra Monk, Jason Danieley, Karen Ziemba, David Hyde Pierce (who hosted), Heidi Blickenstaff, Julia Murney, Norm Lewis, and the cast of The Scottsboro Boys. Kristin Chenoweth introduced someone (Karen, I think?) but did not sing. The tribute opened with a very surprise performance of "Wilkommen" by none other than Joel Grey.
I'm sure I'm missing somebody, but my program is at home.

LIZA is the best performer EVER. I love her so much. She's the # 1.

I think you got them all Yero. It was truly a beautiful night of performances. I think the stage hand who gave Heidi that dead mic needed a swift kick in the rear, but she still topped the piano and blew it (in a good way) to the back of the house.
Tickets were anywhere from $75-$1000.

It wasn't his fault. It worked during sound check.
I was extremely impressed that Heidi was able to project and be heard in the balcony (where I was) even without a working mic. Made me love her even more!
There were three tiers of prices: $1000 included a full dinner and cocktails and seats in the orchestra; the next price down (I forget how much, I think around $100) included cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and seats in the first balcony, and the cheapest ticket ($75) was only for the show and seats were in the second balcony.

Wonder if William Goldman was there. He roomed w Kander for several years in their youth and wrote the only musical Kander ever did w/out Fred Ebb.

Found my program. Here is the list of performances:
Joel Grey - "Wilkommen"
Jason Danieley - "I Get My Music From My Dad" and "I Miss the Music"
Debra Monk - "Everybody's Girl" (introduced by Scott Ellis)
the cast of THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS - "Go Back Home"
Mario Cantone - "Chief Cook and Bottle Washer"
Norm Lewis - "Life Is" (introduced by Hunter Bell and Jeff Bowen)
Julia Murney - "The Money Tree"
Heidi Blickenstaff - "Maybe This Time"
David Hyde Pierce - "Ten Percent"
Karen Ziemba - "Theme from New York, New York" (introduced by Kristin Chenoweth)
Chita Rivera - "Love and Love Alone" and "All That Jazz"
Liza Minnelli - "And the World Goes 'Round"
Interesting note: Julia and Heidi sang their songs in kind of a counterpoint to each other, and it worked really well and gave a neat perspective to both songs.
