I’m Getting My Act Together and Taking It on the Road

I’m Getting My Act Together and Taking It on the Road by Gretchen Cryer and Nancy Ford (The Last Sweet Days of Isaac, Shelter) is one of the most enduring and empowering Off-Broadway musicals of all time. The show premiered in the late 1970s Off-Broadway at the Public Theater and ran for years, becoming a sensation for all theatre-goers. The story follows a fictional cabaret singer, Heather Jones, as she evolves her traditional act of romantic pop tunes to a bold new act full of emancipating, feminist pieces. As she performs the new show, song by song, Heather fights to achieve an artistic metamorphosis while her dominating manager, Joe, tries to keep her act in the past.
