Musical director Jody Shelton will be featured on the keyboard with Colin Jeffress on the bass. Michael Palmer is stage manager, and Isaac Goldbaum is assistant stage manager.

Cryer, who is a playwright, lyricist, director, and actress, also collaborated with Ford on the musicals Shelter and The Last Sweet Days of Isaac. The sequel to I'm Getting My Act Together has been in the works for several years.
