Indeed. What a beautiful showcase as it wasn’t just a performance but an extended interview. No mention was made of the other 2 actresses so millions who just now learned about THE CHER SHOW vía this performance on The View will assume Stephanie is the only person playing Cher.
That was stellar, but I’m also hoping they will soon appear on one of the late night shows (Fallon, Colbert, Meyers) with some of the ensemble and do a fuller number.
I’d actually KILL to see the three Chers do “Song For The Lonely”

Yeah, she was amazing!! Glad they got a little interview in as well. Lucky studio audience getting free tickets.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
I'm not familiar all with SJB, so seeing her on THE VIEW was my first time. I thought she sounded very much like Cher, but didn't look like her at all (looked like a bad drag queen, IMO). However, her short interview onstage was great. She seems like a very genuine, lovely woman. Very gracious, very humble. Too bad they didn't give her a longer segment at 'the table'. Maybe someday she can guest cohost, as I think she would be very interesting on 'Hot Topics'.
SJB is phenomenal as Cher, but I feel like these daytime slots ( View and Kelli & Ryan) do her and the show no favors. In daylight, it looks so campy. You need to see the singing in context of SJB acting Cher in the other scenes for the immersion to work. A stand along song in drag looks awkward IMHO. SJB should get the Tony no question.
If the producers were smart they'd be putting Micaela and Jarod on Daytime TV. That would be more dynamic.
I think The Cher Show is hurting. Was there last week and the mezz was 2/3 empty and orchestra was a 1/3 empty. I've been to shows doing poorly before and never thought the theatre looks empty. The Cher Show looked and felt empty. Energy was low.
I hope warm weather helps them out.
