The new artwork looks very nice. As far as tourists thinking Cher is in the show.............well, many people still think that Cyndi Lauper is in "Kinky Boots." So - there you go.
I don't know why they'd think of Cyndi Lauper by looking at this logo. Cher's name and likeness are a part of the show's new logo. Silly comparison, nealb1!
THE CHER SHOW reveals new artwork Aug 31

Interesting. That new artwork will confuse the tourists in the TKTS line even more. I'm an avid theatre-goer and even I would think that Cher is appearing in the show, if I didn't already know better.
Based on this article, I'd think THE CHER SHOW would be a prime target for Green and the others. From what I've heard and read, the show falls into every trap these critics have set.
Very telling article--Jesse Green being the most cynical:
"I’m happy for people to find pleasure in the theater however they can. But I keep looking for the jukebox musical that will bring to the genre the level of skill we see in shows like “Fun Home” and “Dear Evan Hansen” and “The Band’s Visit.” I watch way too
Heard nothing about ''Band'' but I don't think it's gonna be any good, the same goes for ''Ain't too Proud''.
Ain’t Too Proud got rave reviews at Berkeley Rep and Peter Marks of the Washington Post just gave it a pretty great review after last night’s opening at The Kennedy Center so you might want to rethink that.

Hi CukorLover! I’ve really considered flying out to Chicago if I could find a cheap flight out there for a day, but I’ve been traveling a lot as it is and don’t know if I can fit it into my schedule :/ I’m Stephanie J. Block fan,
Menken Fan said: "Cher = unsurprisingly honest. Not 100% happy with the current state of the show. Nice words for Emily Skinner. At least none of it made her want to gouge her eyes out. High praise.
As talented as Mr. Wheeldon is when it comes to ballet, he'd be the last person I'd think of to choreograph, as well as direct a Michael Jackson musical.
Eleonora Duse said: "One need only look at the Wikipedia entry for Cher to see that she achieved many goals and set records in the time period after Sonny's death. In the last twenty years, she earned an Emmy, set records for highest grossing concert tours by a female artist, became the only singer to have chart-topping singers in each decade from the 60's to the current decade, and achieved her highest ranking as a solo artist on Billboard's Hot 200 chart.
Hey Jonathan--thanks for your report. Are most rush tickets allocated for the front row for this show? And if so, how are the sight lines being that close? Thanks!
