The Act may refer to:
The Act is an interactive movie arcade video game originally produced by Cecropia in the United States in 2007. The game is a unique interactive cartoon featuring the hand-drawn art of a number of former Disney animators. It was test marketed in selected locations throughout North America in 2006, and it received generally favorable press coverage. The game was cancelled in late 2007, and Cecropia shut its doors in early 2008. The game was later ported to iOS and OSX by React Entertainment and published by Chillingo in June 2012.
The Act tells the story of Edgar, who works as a window washer at a large hospital. He sees Sylvia, a nurse, through a window and quickly falls in love, but is forced to get back to work when his boss comes out to check up on him. His lazy brother, Wally, climbs through a window into a patient's room and falls asleep in his bed, and is mistakenly taken to an operating room for a brain transplant. In an effort to save his brother, Edgar sneaks into the hospital disguised as a doctor, runs into Sylvia and tries to impress her while taking care of a number of patients.
The Act is a musical with a book by George Furth, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and music by John Kander.
It was written to showcase the talents of Kander and Ebb favorite Liza Minnelli, who portrayed Michelle Craig, a fading film star attempting a comeback as a Las Vegas singer. The musical premiered on Broadway in 1977.
The Act played out-of-town tryouts for fifteen weeks in Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. The musical opened on Broadway on October 29, 1977 at the Majestic Theatre, where it ran for 233 performances and six previews. Directed by Martin Scorsese, choreographed by Ron Lewis, with costumes by Halston, the cast included Barry Nelson and Wayne Cilento. The New York Times reviewer wrote that "'The Act' is precisely what its name implies: It is an act, and a splendid one. On the other hand, it is a little less than its pretensions imply. Theatrical though it is as a performance, it is indifferent musical theater." Another New York Times writer noted that "If there's a point 'The Act' underscores most, it's that Miss Minnelli on Broadway has incomparable star power."

I'm gonna get my act together
I'm gonna climb the highest tether
I'm gonna clean all of my feathers
Just to be there with you in the sky
I've got a special way to protect myself
A special way that I think of you
This ain't night time, and this ain't day
It's just the way that I remember
And the way that I thought
Life was supposed to be
In the back of the boot with a beautiful suit
I'm going down that highway
This ain't night time, and this ain't the best time for me
It's just the way that I remember
And the way that I thought
Life was supposed to be
