The Cher Show

About the show

The Cher Show is a jukebox musical with a book by Rick Elice that tells the story of the life and career of Cher, using songs that she performed throughout her career. The part of Cher is played by three actresses: one portraying her in the 1950s and 60s (nicknamed "Babe"), one for the 1970s (nicknamed "Lady"), and one for the 1980s and 90s (nicknamed "Star"). The three interact with each other at various points. The musical had a workshop in the fall of 2017 in New York City, followed by its world premiere at the Oriental Theatre in Chicago, on June 12, 2018. The production opened on Broadway in December 2018. The original cast album was released on digital platforms on April 12, 2019, and on compact disc on May 10, 2019. The Cher Show played its final Broadway performance on August 18, 2019. A revised production launched at the Leicester Curve in April 2022, before embarking on a UK tour.
