I?m Getting My Act Together and Taking It on the Road was hailed as a sensation when it premiered in the late 1970s. In it, a former pop star ditches the romantic songs of her earlier repetoire and attempts a comeback by performing more personal songs that reflect women's changing roles and attitudes.

The musical 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 today.
