Providence Performing Arts Center presents ‘The Cher Show,’ the stylish, spirited Tony-winning jukebox musical that playfully and spectacularly recounts the six decade-long, multi-hyphenated career of the cherished musical diva, Academy Award-winning actress, and fashion icon.

The star-studded 2/19 show (also being live-streamed) shines a spotlight on gems from that musicals that never made it, introduced and sung by members of the original casts of the shows they came from.

Final stars have been announced to join the world premiere Studio Cast Recording of Jo - The Little Women Musical, set to release in March. Learn more about the album here!

Overall, the show is an expertly-crafted piece of unapologetically silly live comedic theatre that demonstrates the power of precision in the guise of 'random' chaos. By blending slapstick humor, meta-theatrical elements, and sheer physical comedy-laced energy, this theatrical enterpris creates an unforgettable theatrical experience that will have you laughing non-stop. While its primary goal is to be an entertaining, crowd-pleasing spectacle, it also spotlights the resilience of theatre performers and the thrilling unpredictability of live theatre—proving that, sometimes, abject failure can be the greatest source of laughter.

Whether you're a lifelong fan or new to Cher's legacy, The Cher Show, currently running at the Straz Center through this Sunday, is a musical that doesn't just celebrate her life—it captures the enduring spirit and resilience of one of the greatest icons of our time, making it an unforgettable theatrical experience.
