SUPERSTARS COME AND GO.

CHER IS FOREVER.

For six straight decades, only one unstoppable force has flat-out dominated popular culture - breaking down barriers, pushing boundaries, and letting nothing and no one stand in her way. The Cher Show is her story, and it's packed with so much Cher that it takes three women to play her: the kid starting out, the glam pop star and the icon.

The Cher Show is 35 smash hits, six decades of stardom, two rock-star husbands, a Grammy, an Oscar, an Emmy, and enough Bob Mackie gowns to cause a sequins shortage in New York City, all in one unabashedly fabulous new musical.

Jason Moore directs, with choreography by Christopher Gattelli and orchestrations by Daryl Waters.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Cher Show

'The Cher Show' review: Solid cast lifts hot mess of a production
7 / 10

This meta theatrical concept is oddly appropriate for the campy concoction that is 'The Cher Show.' Directed by Jason Moore ('Avenue Q'), with bizarre and skimpy costumes designed by Bob Mackie and arena tour-style choreography, the production proves to be more tolerable than similar star-worship vehicles, though nowhere near as satisfying as 'Jersey Boys' (The Four Seasons) or even 'Beautiful' (Carole King).

‘The Cher Show’ Broadway Review: Stephanie J Block Is Strong Enough to Be the Real Star
7 / 10

Being compared to television isn't a compliment in the theater, but it's probably what director Jason Moore, choreographer Christopher Gattelli and book writer Rick Elice intended: Watching 'The Cher Show' is as much fun as watching old network TV, namely 'The Sonny and Cher Show' on CBS. The jokes are lame, segues between scenes are blunt or nonexistent, and a general lack of inventiveness pervades the entire enterprise.
