The Cher Show at TPAC This Weekend
The Cher Show is a multi-Tony Award-winning jukebox musical which features 35 of her hit songs and tells her life story. Covering such a lengthy career calls for more than one woman and takes three women to play her: the kid starting out, the glam pop star, and the icon. These different versions of herself interact with each other as her story is told. The musical covers the ups and downs of her career, from when she and Sonny were “broke-ass broke,” to when Cher’s mother tells her to marry a rich man and she answers, “Mom, I am a rich man.”
In a pop-music landscape of rapid change and one-hit wonders, this EGOT-winning superstar is the only solo artist to have a number-one single on a Billboard chart for seven consecutive decades, and has a separate Wikipedia entry listing her awards and nominations.
After its premiere on Broadway in 2018 and a national tour delayed by COVID-19, The Cher Show is making its tour with Bob Mackie again in charge of the show’s Tony Award-winning costumes.
To see Cher interviewed with some of the original Broadway cast, see Jimmy Fallon’s interview with them in 2019: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVt40fhq6E8. Coming to TPAC this weekend only, The Cher Show will be performed January 19-20, with two evening shows and a matinee.
