Photo Flash: Meet the Cast of Encores! Off-Center's GETTING MY ACT TOGETHER - Renee Elise Goldsberry, Christina Sajous & More

As BroadwayWorld previously announced, Jason Rabinowitz, Christina Sajous, Jennifer Sanchez and Frederick Weller have signed on to join Renée Elise Goldsberry in I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking It on the Road, the final Encores! Off-Center presentation of the 2013 season, playing for five performances, July 24 - 27. The cast recently came together for the first round of rehearsals - check out a sneak peek below!

The show will be directed and choreographed by Kathleen Marshall, with music direction by Chris Fenwick. Jeanine Tesori is the Encores! Off-Center artistic director. In keeping with City Center's founding mission to make the arts accessible to all and to attract younger audiences, the majority of tickets are $25.

I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking It on the Road, with book and lyrics by Gretchen Cryer and music by 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.

Encores! Off-Center, under the artistic direction of Jeanine Tesori, is City Center's newest series, featuring seminal Off-Broadway musicals filtered through the lens of today's most innovative artists. The inaugural season included three shows: The Cradle Will Rock, Violet and I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking It on the Road. In keeping with City Center's founding mission to make the arts accessible to all, the majority of tickets are $25. The Lobby Project events will take place 45 minutes before each curtain* and are free for ticket holders.
