A Sunderland couple are said to have walked out of opening night of The Cher Show, after expecting to see actual Cher, rather than a musical about her.
Having opened in Broadway in 2018 and becoming a real smash with Stateside audiences, has now had a revamp for the UK, has now hit the road for a tour, directed by former Strictly judge Arlene Phillips and choreographed by the BBC show's former champion pro dancer Oti Mabuse. The cast have been doing plenty of promo to get the word out about the tour, including an interview and performance on This Morning, but that clearly went unnoticed by two audience members who took their seats at Sunderland Empire on Tuesday.
One of the stars of The Cher Show is Danielle Steers, who shares the stage with two other Chers and delivers a knock out performance as Lady. She received a rapturous reception from the crowd on opening night on Wearside and took to Twitter on Wednesday morning with a very amusing tale of the couple who walked out disappointed.
