Why see The Cher Show?
Winner of two 2019 tony awards!
Stephanie J. Block Wins Tony Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical!
Do you believe in life after love? Cher certainly does, having given her blessing to this brand new musical about her life and career. After super secret industry workshops, the show will finally premiere on Broadway in 2018. Three actresses take on the story of this mega star, each covering a section of the life the icon.
One of America's most treasured stars, Cher is an outspoken performer, singer, activist and advocate, a mother of reinvention, finding new fans in every decade of her incredible career. The production will be directed by Jason Moore with a book by Rick Elice and will turn back time to chronicle the star's early life growing up poor in Los Angeles, her first gigs as a back up singer, her meeting and marriage to Sonny Bono and their stratospheric rise to fame as the country's favorite duo and beyond to solo success. Expect to hear some of her greatest songs, from 'Believe' to 'Gypsys, Tramps and Thieves', 'The Shoop Shoop Song' and many more.
So dig out those rhinestones and leather and get preparing for the jukebox musical we've all been waiting for!

Dazzling Stunning Brilliant
What could be better than seeing Cher? Seeing Cher in three variations interacting with herself comes very close! New musical The Cher Show looks at the music icon's life from her past, present and future selves.

LOVED the Cher Musical show. The dancing, singing. costumes and of course the actors
were superb. Enjoyed ever minute of it...Didn't want it to end, so much more could have
been added.. Would have loved to see the actual footage while some of the songs were
sung on monitors. ... Read more

FUN NIGHT OUT!
This is the perfect show for a fun night out! So
much energy, fantastic sets and, of course, the
music & dancers. Great one to see with
friends before dinner & drinks because you’re
fully charged from the performance you’ll be
ready to rock. Highly recommend. ... Read more

A Surprise Hit
I went to the show expecting to hear some of
her hits and a little bit of her history. What iwe
got was a shownwith tons of music, tons of
content and extremely well cast actors and
dancing. Like Cher’s famous costumes
changes, the set was constantly changing
which each new song and storyline. It was well
written and well thought out. This was by far
the best play I’ve seen in many years.
Absolutely loved it. ... Read more
