If there’s one diva above them all who is befitting of a musical about her it’s Cher. With a career of attention grabbing outfits, incredible songs and star quality that has left many peers trailing in her wake, Cher is everything you’d want from a pop star and the stage show devoted to her is VERY nearly everything you’d want in a show about the global icon.
While those who aren’t die hard Cher fans know her purely for her long list of chart smashes like Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves, Turn Back Time and Believe, all of which are present and correct in The Cher Show, there is a lot more to the woman with the decade spanning career.
The Cher Show, which opened at Sunderland Empire on Tuesday evening delves into the career struggles of a woman who, on the surface of things, has always had it all, while shining the spotlight of cuts from her back catalogue that haven’t received the credit they deserve.
