Encores! I'M GETTING MY ACT TOGETHER AND TAKING IT ON THE ROAD Considering Broadway, Off-Broadway or Nightclub?

Jason Rabinowitz, Christina Sajous, Jennifer Sanchez, Frederick Weller and Renée Elise Goldsberry have been getting great reviews and audience reactions in I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking It on the Road, the final Encores! Off-Center presentation of the 2013 season. Today, Michael Riedel reports that the successful response might earn the show a transfer.

He writes ""Act" will likely have a life after Encores! Producer Erin Craig, who runs La Vie Productions, has the rights and will soon be meeting withKathleen Marshall, who directed the show, to figure out what to do next.

There's talk of Broadway, of course, but "Act" is an intimate show and would probably fare better off-Broadway, maybe in a nightclub. (The show is set in one.)"

The show is directed and choreographed by Kathleen Marshall, with music direction by Chris Fenwick. Jeanine Tesori is the Encores! Off-Center artistic director.

I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking It on the Road, with book and lyrics by Gretchen Cryer and musicby Nancy Ford, created a sensation when it premiered in the late 1970s. In it, a former pop star ditches the romantic songs of her past and attempts a comeback by performing personal songs that reflect women's changing roles and attitudes. The show stoked the fires of feminism, not only with its joyous rock score proclaiming empowerment for women, but because of its female songwriting team-a rarity in musical theater then and now.

The cast of I'm Getting My Act Together includes Renée Elise Goldsberry, Jason Rabinowitz, Christina Sajous, Jennifer Sanchez and Frederick Weller, with musicians Damien Bassman, Alec Berlin, George Farmer, and Chris Fenwick.
