The Cher Show

[Mister Matt]

But each time, someone else has to jump with with their 2 cents regsrding the topic.

Including you.  Several times over, in fact.  But that's how all message boards work.  That's how conversations work.  That's how discussions and debates work.   

I said “Agree to disagree” and went back to discussing the show. That ->should’ve<- been the end of it.

Because we should only discuss what YOU want?  Because "Agree to disagree" is the universal conclusion to a conversation?  Why do you feel you should be in charge of what we discuss and for how long?  I disagree to agree.  

Let’s end this now, homie, and get back to the discussion. 

"Homie", again?  Who are these "homies" of yours?  Welcome to 1996.

Debates, yes. But when multiple people jump in “just cause” to say slick comments, it’s unnecessary. “It’s too late to quit while you’re ahead”, etc..that was unnecessary as we hadn’t even commented regarding this since 4PM yesterday  the topic was dead.

In what world do we all have to have the same point of view on an unpopular opinion/topic? I said “agree to disagree” meaning “I see your point of view, though I don’t agree with it let’s move on because we obviously won’t agree”. Why put so much energy into something so trivial? 

I have other cheesy slang terms I could use as well, but homie is my favorite.

Can we return this thread to the topic at hand: THE CHER SHOW?

Please take this nonsense arguing to where it belongs: Facebook.  This is a Broadway message board.  Not a religious, political or otherwise message board.

Agreed

[Mister Matt]

It's a message board.  It's all "unnecessary".  What precisely qualifies Ohhhhh snapz! You got me!  or Lol. This was over yesterday. Let’s move on, homie. as being "necessary"?  Because you posted it instead of someone else?  Were they truly "necessary" to anyone other than yourself?  (nope)

I said “agree to disagree” meaning “I see your point of view, though I don’t agree with it let’s move on because we obviously won’t agree”.

So?  It doesn't mean everyone has to stop the discussion because you don't want to talk about it any more.  Everyone else still have voices and exist on the boards.

Why put so much energy into something so trivial? 

If it's too much energy for you, why do you continue to respond and discuss it?  Why have so little regard for something that isn't trivial?  By which I mean, it's not as if you dictate what others consider to be trivial or not.  Especially when they've already stated that it isn't trivial for them at all.

In what world do we all have to have the same point of view on an unpopular opinion/topic?

None that I know of, and yet you still seem mystified that we don't all share your trivialization of the subject as well as your opinions on what should be discussed, for how long, and the type pf response they should or should not post.

Alrighty, everybody. It's time to get back to talking about the show in this thread. If you would like to continue any other political, religious, social, or other types of discussions, please feel free to start a thread in the Off-Topic board.

[Valentina3]

Oh if only I could turn back time...

[Mister Matt]

Is there anything more to say about the show that hasn't been said yet?

It is now abundantly clear why you think this misuse of the word homophobic is "really not that serious".

Hello All!

Jumping in to politely request we just go back to discussing the show vs. getting into arguments with each other here as we'd really hate to have to lock or remove this thread considering it's got lots of good info!

I hope we can get this thread back on topic. Thanks!

Was going to ask the same thing. Turning off notifications until November. 

[Mister Matt]

For two days, only one person had something to say about the show.  If it hadn't been for the "off-topic" posts (which were actually related to the comments on the subject) this thread would have disappeared to page 2 and beyond, which is pretty much dead and forgotten.  Would that have really been so much better?

Cut Dark Lady.

[CarlosAlberto]

The more I read about this show the more disappointed I get. "Summer" is an unmitigated mess of a show - and this looks to be going down that same road. Cher deserves better than this. I'm hoping they get their sh!t together sooner than later. I am going to go see it after it opens - there's no way I'm going to see it while it's in previews - - - I have a feeling that they are going to really implement bigger changes once it starts playing here. I would rather see it once those changes are in place. 

I hope someone, anyone in that production is reading this thread and taking the suggestions many have written here into consideration, beginning with excising that "Dark Lady" number - - - it has "craptastic" written all over it. 

I don't want this show to fail. I've loved Cher since I was 6 years old - I want anything that bears her name to be the biggest success possible. 

 

[ChgoTheatreGuy]

Carlos I agree with you, I want this show to succeed also.  I originally went in thinking that this show would tell her life story conventionally and chronologically.  But at the intermission, I thought "this show is about Cher, what should be conventional about it?".  Upon the second viewing (at the press preview), I was happy with the few changes that were made, but know that they need to do A LOT more work.  I am not going to repeat myself, but I feel that this is the perfect final (?) chapter to a very long and surprising career that I don't even think that Cher expected...

[BrodyFosse123]

Cher just recorded an album of ABBA covers so her work continues.  

She’s a producer of THE CHER SHOW so after her infamous critique of the Chicago incarnation of the show, she most definitely will be heavily involved with the Broadway version of the show.  She also saw the same flaws audiences pointed out and immediately took action and changes started within 24 hours of her taking the reign on the show.  The work is going to be heavy.

“Cher just recorded an album of ABBA covers so her work continues”

I want to add that gif of Michelle Visage snapping in the air in response to this (don’t know how though)

On a lighter note of the train wreck this thread has become, I received my refund from Sunday’s cancelled show AND a print of Bob Mackie’s costume sketch signed by Bob Mackie on the same day :)

[greensgreens]

OMFG! A signed Mackie sketch!!! That's incredible! May I ask how you scored that? Was it a favor, a simple mail-in request, a charity auction, or...? I would love to have something like that. I didn't really appreciate all that Bob did to help create CHER before this show and the costumes were on fire!!!

[ChgoTheatreGuy]

On Facebook today, someone posted a photo of the new marquee for the show at the Neil Simon Theatre.  Looks very spiffy!...

[BroadwayConcierge]

I passed it today! It really looks fabulous. It made me laugh that there's a huge sign that says, "Let's do this, BITCHES" up at the Neil Simon.

I wonder why it looks like tire tracks in the background. Seems an odd choice in design.

Found this gem on twitter.

WaffleOnWheels, thanks for blessing the thread with that image. I want to blow that up into a poster.
