it's gonna be like a jukebox musical using her musical to tell the story of her life a la Jersey Boys and Beautiful. I think the early reports said three women will play Cher (which is strange since she's looked basically the same since the 80's)
"Contentment, it seems, simply happens. It appears accompanied by no bravos and no tears."
I did just see that, I also saw she's writing new music for it. She said she might be the 'current' Cher. Just wondering who'd be good for the younger Cher's
Just what B'way doesn't need, another boring "Behind the Music" style jukebox musical. Can't this crap be relegated to Vegas or Orlando where it belongs?
Sounds like PEG: A MUSICAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY. Peggy Lee actually starred, although it seems like it was much more of an extended concert/monologue type show than an actual dramatization.
That's quite alright Marc. Even if you happen not to like the show, there are many out there who are keenly and genuinely interested in CHER The Musical.
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)
Just for the sections covering the entire Sonny & Cher 70s career resurrection (the TV period and her solo career) will be worth the entire show. Hopefully Bob Mackie gets to recreate his iconic Cher costumes and gowns from that period.
With Mamma Mia being gone, I think Bway could use a - go to happy hour, get a little tipsy and go see a show- show. And this could be it. You'd think "On Your Feet" would be it, but it gets way too serious in Act 2, and her music isn't interesting at all.
I sometimes wondered how the show managed to present multiple Chers during some sequences.

Gypsy.... I was referring to her 70's television shows that I used to watch back then.
