The Cher Show Reviews

CHER

Being a Cher fan 45 years I was taking this grain of salt. Let’s not forget it’s not Cher. So expectations were low. I enjoyed it he’ll lot more than thought. Could not pick but I drove 5 hours see it. Was it worth it? Yes

CLEVER PLAY ON MERGING TIME PERIODS

Loved the method of merging various life periods rather than shelving them into separate, distinct layers. Life never happens that clearly. The closing scene depicts an almost life circle, what most of us will experience along with Cher. Caught her unmistakable wit throughout. Will go again!

ENTERTAINING SHOW

I love Broadway shows and although I wanted to love it unequivocally, it does not stand next to classics such as Hamilton, Jersey Boys, The Book of Mormons or other Broadway greats. While the costumes were exquisite, the 3 Cher’s woven and seen together was confusing-I would have liked seeing their progression separately. The dancing was amazing, beyond amazing and a sensuality that captured Cher’s essence. The singing throughout was excellent. The first act was vibrant but ithe second act was on the slow side. I loved the history of the Sonny and Cher show and the nostalgia pieces but unfortunately something was missing for me. When I left Hamilton I was on such a high and could not stop thinking about it and kept singing the songs but I did not feel as intense for this musical and I really wanted to. I think the ping-ponging of the three different Cher’s left me with a headache and much confusion to their purpose in advancing the story.

WOWED THE AUDIENCE

Voices were very powerful and dancing was exceptional. Cher’s storyline was clearly portrayed in this stunning performance. The audience was totally awed and responded accordingly. I’d highly recommend this show as it covered all the bases of entertaining...fabulous singing,, dancing, costumes and a thought provoking story.

LONG LIVE GODESS CHER

The above review is just silly. Every single thing in Chers life can not be in the show. If it were, the show would never end!...she's 72! The show by no means lacked emotion...in fact, there are a few emotionally charged moments that were beautifully acted. The show doesnt make her look like a victim or cougar. It makes her look HUMAN. (Despite popular belief, she is human! ;)) It illustrates things that die hard wouldnt know...he money struggles with Sonny, stage fright, insecurities, dyslexia, heartbreak, and the price of fame. So many actual cher quotes are woven into the script and I think the way the songs are woven in work wonderfully to drive the story. It's not perfect. A couple moments may need tweaking. Young Cher=no. Her voice is too high and it's like she wasn't even trying to be Cher at all. I forsee a re cast. Stephanie as "star" Cher is BRILLIANT. Especially her act 2. She did her homework...and she brought me to tears. Go see The Cher Show!

VERY ENTERTAINING, GREAT MUSIC, COSTUMES, DID NOT DISAPPOINT

The show was very entertaining. The 3 Cher's really worked for me. I loved the 3 stages of Cher's life. Costumes were outstanding. I liked that Bob Mackie was a part of the show too. Very entertaining for anyone who appreciates Cher's music. They did a nice job using her music to tell her story. This was a story about Cher, not Chaz! They did a good job with the time allowed to tell the story of Cher and that is how it should have been. A very talented group.

POORLY WRITTEN, EXCELLENT EXECUTION

Stage design and costumes were flawless. The talent was exceptional. The storyline however was a bit confusing and focused mostly on the Cher and Sonny period. We were very entertained but it could have been a show about global warming, with this cast still a hit. Needs a rewrite before it hits Broadway. Unless you really follow cheers life from birth to Sonny's death, you may be lost and not understand many of the references. However my 24 y.o. non Cher following husband, was "really entertained but had no idea what was going on". I look forward to seeing the improvements made and seeing it again in New York. It was well worth the $90 a seat I paid. Far better quality production than what we see on Broadway usually. Just had higher expectation and wanted more of the new, post Sonny Cher. Very happy we went.
