About

The Cher Show is based on the life of Cherilyn Sarkisian La Piere Bono Allman or as her friends call her, Cher! The kid on a tricycle, vowing to be famous. The teenage phenom who crashes by twenty. The glam TV star who quits at the top. The would-be actress with an Oscar. The rock goddess with a hundred million records sold. The legend who’s done it all, still scared to walk on stage. The wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend. The woman, looking for love. The ultimate survivor, chasing her dream. They’re all here, dressed to kill, singing their asses off, telling it like it is. And they’re all the star of The Cher Show.

Featuring her beloved chart-topping hits, The Cher Show will feature a book by Rick Elice (Tony Award-winning best musical Jersey Boys), direction by Jason Moore (Tony Award-winning best musical Avenue Q), choreography by Tony Award-winner Christopher Gattelli (Newsies), and orchestrations, arrangements and musical supervision by Tony Award-winner Daryl Waters (Memphis).

    The Cher Show--TERRIFIC!!!

    by Gooderthangoodeisthisenou on 7/14/18Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    My partner and I are big Cher fans, having seen her in concert twice. This show was absolutely terrific! We wondered how one woman could impersonate someone with so many diverse talents, a problem solved by using 3 different actresses to play her, often all three appearing on stage at once. Also we wondered about Bob Mackie, designer of Cher's outfits for many years--would this show have his blessing? Not only does it have his blessing, he's actually a character in the show, and the best number we thought was the big fashion show where Mackie's designs take over the stage. We also loved that the writers got every one of Cher's hit songs into the show so we could sing along, if silently. And we also loved the Oriental Theatre, a lovely venue with wide, comfortable seats. BRAVO!!

    Cher Show was wonderful.

    by GerrieP on 7/14/18Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    I think I.went to see the show with high expectations. I was not disappointed at all. At first I thought it would be confusing to have three different Cher's on the stage together. Boy, was I wrong. It was the total essence of the show and made total sense. Having all three on the stage complimented the whole story line. It was done with such simplicity that you understood exactly what was being told. The three "CHER'S" were so good and sounded like Cher herself. Maybe "STAR CHER" captured her voice, while not only singing but in talking, the best.. The story preceded on a quick pace and I believe the audience felt the same, wishing it could go on longer. The Sonny Bono pick was right on as was the whole supporting cast. If it goes to Broadway and I was living in NYC I would go to see it again.

    The Cher Triple Threat!

    by broadwaydork1995 on 7/14/18Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    AMAZING! All 3 ladies who played Cher throughout her life are stupendous! I cannot wait to see how much amazing they are going to make this show once it hits Broadway.

    Better Tan I Thought It Would Be

    by 1Butter on 7/14/18Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    Probably shaded by the fact that I love Cher's music but I thought show was worthwhile. Songs great and singers were excellent. Still don't know why they needed 3 Chers, all relatively the same age. Production, sets and fashions were great. Sonny and Bob Mackey very good. Think Broadway will enjoy it.

    Cher

    by Ddivas on 7/14/18Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    The show needs more positive. Upbeat feeling. More song less dialogue. Cher, the person, makes you want to be outrageous, sassy, a person bigger than life, the show misses that quality. Great costumes, the 3 Cher’s excellent voices.

    The Cher Show was worth seeing.

    by Flickr on 7/14/18Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    The music was great and the costumes were fabulous, but the show needs a new ending. The ending was too depressing. She doesn’t need an encouraging song from her dead mother.

    surprisingly fantastic

    by Commanderrikker on 7/14/18Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    I was expecting this show to be on the level of a tribute band. Instead it was a fully fleshed out and touching musical recalling Cher's struggles up to this point. It has some great music, a lot of comedy, but also amazing performances, especially by Stephanie Block (formerly of Wicked)

    First half great, second half good

    by patzplayce on 7/13/18Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    The first half up to intermission was really good, however, the second half after intermission was a little slow and needs some work. Overall, it was an enjoyable evening.

    The Cher Show was wonderful!!

    by realtorpat on 7/13/18Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    I am a contemporary of Cher and in my teens and 20's she was my idol, so I was looking forward to seeing this show...It was wonderful!!! Stephanie Block and the other 2 ladies were so spot on with the mannerisms, and their voices captured Cher's persona and transported me back to the the 60's...The Bob Mackie sequence with the costumes took my breath away...In short...Loved it!!! Definite Tony nomination for Stephanie when it hits B'way, and yes, I would go see it again in NYC.

    Cher Show could be another Jersey Boys

    by mrscorgi on 7/13/18Oriental Theatre Chicago - Chicago

    I really liked the concept of the Cher show. I loved the music ,the story and the dazzle. However when the producers work their magic before the broadway premiere,they need to make it shorter and tighten down some story lines. For example, the scenes where she is working on her acting and Oscar just went on too long. I thought the quote from Silkwood re Cher, Streep and Russell was great because it quickly demonstrated the lack of respect she was getting. But then it just languished for a bit until she gets her Oscar. If i’m Not mistaken, this was also the scene where she was with her young lover and that may have contributed to the lack of focus. Maybe they could have tightened down the childhood piece. Overall, with some rigor applied, this could be another Jersey boys.
