The Cher Show is the Tony Award-winning musical of her story, and it’s packed with so much Cher that it takes three women to play her: the bright-eyed kid starting out, the glam popstar, and the icon. In a stunning new production of the Tony Award-winning musical, The Cher Show celebrates 35 smash hits, a Grammy, an Oscar, an Emmy, and enough Tony Awardwinning Bob Mackie gowns to cause a sequin shortage in New York City!
