"A feel-good musical which succeeds in what it sets out to do - it just feels like it tries to do a little too much sometimes."
They are good, as is their delivery, but we only get to hear snippets of them, with 'Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do' the sole number given any decent amount of stage time and welly in Act One. The theme of female triumph in adversity permeates the whole production and you can't help but root for her to succeed. But in practice, the dialogue between them is a little disconnected and means three Chers don't quite equal three cheers.

Lucas Rush plays Sonny and they bring a powerful performance, both in singing and acting as they interact with each version of Cher. The trio reflect on Cher’s past, vividly retold through a number of her greatest hits that work perfectly with the story as the show undergoes a deep dive through the decades of the one and only Goddess of Pop’s life. Director Arlene Phillips brings a tour de force of a show with all-out acting, smash-hit singing and killer choreography from Oti Mabuse that captivates your attention from start to finish.
After presenting a year of shows under a temporary open-air pavilion assembled in response to the pandemic, the folks at the Ogunquit Playhouse are inviting ...
“If I Could Turn Back Time” she sings to introduce what the show spiritedly attempts in its two-plus-hours. The show (book by Rick Elice, directed by Gerry McIntyre) may try to cram in a few too many of the dramatic moments in Cher’s long career but nonetheless is one of the best of the jukebox/biographical productions that’s drawn crowds to Ogunquit in recent years. Then there’s “Lady,” the hard-working and feisty performer of her middle years, and “Babe,” the naïve, raw talent of her initial breakthrough in the 1960s.
The tour's cast is almost as spectacular as the original Broadway cast, which starred well-known theatre divas from across the pond. Tony winner (3 x nominee) ...
Prepare yourselves for a night full of glitz and glam, showcasing Cher’s most iconic looks and featuring all the biggest hits, from I Got You Babe to Woman’s World. Tony winner (3 x nominee) Stephanie J. Block played Star and Teal Wicks played Lady, whilst Michaela Diamond had her stage debut as Babe (later going on to star in the acclaimed film tick, tick…BOOM!). Cher has truly done it all, and now it’s time for her story to take the stage.

The three of us who play Cher have a nightly ritual that we do prior to the show. I also watched Burlesque. This movie really helped inform some of the later scenes in the show, where she is a little older and defeated. All of the experiences Cher went through informed my choices of how to play her at that stage in her life. Arlene knew what she was looking for and I was hooked onto the material and the character when I went in; the meeting was a dream! Star is the older, wiser version of Cher, who has been through it all and is looking back retrospectively.
