RITA ABRAMS
COMPOSER/LYRICIST/ WRITER
Rita Abrams brings a lifetime of excellence and achievement to Gregangelo & Velocity Circus and CUE. Rita Abrams is the creator of the musical stage version of John Gray’s MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS, represented by Columbia Artist Theatricals. Rita’s many honors include two Emmy Awards, and twenty-plus ASCAP special awards; and for her work in children’s recordings, video and film, she has won awards from Associated Press for Best Video, New York TV and Film Festival, and CINE, to name a few. Her San Francisco Bay Area theatrical collaborations have earned her three Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle awards. Her international hit single “Mill Valley” topped the charts in the ’70s, securing her place in the annals of Americana — not to mention Life Magazine and Rolling Stone. Rita’s newest CDs with Dr. Elmo, of “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” fame have just sold over 130,000 for BMG Entertainment (second only to Elvis in the Christmas category!) and Clear Channel radio programmed her songs on 1,200 stations during the Christmas season.
From touching ballads to side-splitting comedy, Rita’s songs and sketches are a perfect compliment to our “Spectacle and High-Impact” productions. We are excited to present her incredible abilities in customizing songs, scripts and shows to the public, corporate, and special event markets!
