The Cher Show (NYC)

See it if You absolutely love cher and her music.

Don't see it if you want to see a better written show and you don't like jukebox musicals.

See it if You love Bob Mackie, want to enjoy some dazzle dazzle.

Don't see it if You want a deep look at what makes Cher tick.

See it if You love Cher. you want to see a really great tango number that she has nothing to do with. You want to see a drag show without drag queens

Don't see it if I don’t love Cher, and I liked her less leaving than I did going in. It all was very entitled and self indulgent. But good for its target.

See it if You want to hear Cher's main hits and learn about her relationship with Sonny. Also the sets and costumes are fantastic.

Don't see it if You are tired of the rushed, and hardly-thought-out plot of jukebox musicals that rush through to get to the songs.

See it if You love Stephanie Block and/or Bob Mackie

Don't see it if You're looking for anything more than a greatest hits mega-mix

See it if you really love Cher, and don't mind hearing other audience members more than the cast.

Don't see it if you want an original take on the singer biomusical. Same devices as Summer, just Cher songs.

Also Seriously, you'll hear some audience members more than the cast on like half the songs. Even after you and the staff ask them to be quiet. Really didn't pay to listen to some lady from Nebraska sing, but that's what I got.

There is one very, very impressive dance number in the second act.... Read more Read less

See it if you love the music and costumes of Cher. Its bad before it good but I smiled the whole show.

Don't see it if You're looking for a good book. All the Chers interact with each other- its silly but in on the joke.

See it if you are a fan of Cher or Stephanie J. Block

Don't see it if you want it to be great; it has its moments, but....

Also I should note that I saw this in its first week of previews and I believe they were still working on it. My friends went recently and really loved it.... Read more Read less

See it if Love Cher and everything about her.

Don't see it if Love Cher and everything about her, because you might get bored.

Also I was entertained by the performers and the costumes, but it doesn't have the weight of anything more than a musical revue.... Read more Read less

See it if you adore Cher and Bob Mackie and don't expect more than a skim-the-surface Facebook profile of a show.

Don't see it if you'd prefer more Broadway and less Vegas.

Also Though Stephanie J. Block was out, her standby did a credible job. Don't know how much that affected my take on the show, but it just seemed a paint-by-numbers bio with little depth and only occasional dazzle. Cher is a fascinating person. The show, not so much. That said, it had moments of fun and camp.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to hear Cher

Don't see it if Watch Beautiful instead

See it if Talented leads - both actresses and dresses You like extravaganzas You like the Cher playbook

Don't see it if The show does not drag but at times, who cares what the Chers have to say to one another Lots of movement but many without meaning

See it if You are over 55 feeling nostalgic and you want to see a musical and cher is appealing to you and your expectations are low

Don't see it if You really like cher. You’ll be disappointed.

Also tonight’s show lacked pizazz. The lead was the standby. Lacked stage presence. Sections were corny. The cast worked hard and Cher’s music wove well into the story of her life as portrayed. But I would recommend instead to listen to her music and see her movies and read about her life. This was a dud.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if do not like juke box musicals. If audience members singing and dancing along bug you

See it if There's too much material to cover in Cher's life for a few hours onstage. Events are mentioned quickly and in passing with no p.o.v.

Don't see it if You don't mind minimally clever theater.

See it if you are a hardcore Cher fan and also like jukebox musicals. You don't want an actual look into her life story

Don't see it if you want more depth, more story, more conflict.

Also The costumes are great, but are you paying for 2.5 hours of your time to see pretty costumes? The best number was the tango...which starred the ensemble.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You look for any depth or quality in book or structure. The script was tough stuff.

Don't see it if you want a night of thought provoking theatre or something truly well done. It was great fun but not the best theatre I've seen.

See it if The singing is good but the dancing was amateur. The story line a little confusing with 3 Cher's

Don't see it if You don't want to spend the money for a mediocre show

See it if If you love great costumes. One good dance number. If you like a good celebrity impression.
