A couple are believed to have walked out of the first UK performance of a touring musical about Cher - because they thought they'd booked tickets to see the actual singer. One of the stars of the show, which tells the tale of Cher's rise to fame, has shared the story on social media.
The musical, called The Cher Show, opened on Broadway in 2018 and was a hit with audiences in America. It has now had a revamp for the UK, with a lengthy tour lined up extending into 2023.
Cast members have been busy with promotion, giving an interview and a taster of the show on This Morning. But this activity appears to have been missed by two theatregoers who went to the opening night at the Sunderland Empire on Tuesday (April 26), ChronicleLive reports.
