Get to go on live act (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

behave

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'act' is the definition.
(I know that act can be written as behave)

'get to go on live' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'get' could be 'have' (synonyms) and 'have' is present in the answer.
'live' could be 'be' (synonyms) and 'be' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for behave that I've seen before include "Act or react - show good manners" , "Handle" , "Spanish peninsula" , "Act in a specified way" , "Act in a certain way" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
