The Cher Show (Chicago)

See it if you love Cher. This is a different kind of jukebox musical that's a great time with phenomenal design and an all-star cast.

Don't see it if you don't have interest in learning about Cher's life story or don't enjoy her music.

See it if you like Cher & her music. Costumes, lighting and clever staging are creative . The entire cast, especially the 3 who play Cher talented.

Don't see it if you do not like Cher and are not a fan of juke box musicals.

Also This was a thoroughly entertaining musical. The only problem I found was that the story line was a little convoluted in the first act, but definitely picked up in the second act. The costumes, lighting and clever staging are definitely must sees. Cher is a legend and I am happy that this show is running to pay homage to her very long career. Her songs are sell paced throughout the show and carry the storyline. As I already mentioned, the three women who play Cher at different stages of her life are all amazing and having them interact with each other throughout the entire show was a very clever idea by the writers. J. Spector is also excellent playing Sonny. Is it the best musical ever written? No, but it sure is an entertaining evening of musical theater.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to be entertained by a really talented cast tells the life story of the one and only Cher, with her catalog of hits.

Don't see it if you are not a fan of Cher and have no interest in learning about her true life story.

Also A really powerful cast that knows how to entertain, although the book is obviously straightforward and might need a bit of an emotional tweak at the very end before this gets to Broadway.... Read more Read less

See it if Great fun show. Clever how the show was staged. Singing was terrific and enjoyed the costumes as well

Don't see it if The young actress who played Cher was unprofessional. Her voice was off key and she took away, not added to the show

Don't see it if you're expecting an intensel, at times painful rendering of her life like Carole King. Way too long; hope they remake substantially for Bway

See it if you love Cher, you love her music, or you want to see & hear several performers with amazing vocal talents.

Don't see it if you don’t like bio musicals that lack focus & specificity, or you lose patience when a show is long & over complicated.

Also Visiting “The Cher Show” a couple weeks after my first visit, things have gotten tighter, especially Act II. The show is still finding itself. The interesting plot device of using 3 different aged Cher’s is smoother & more effective. The first act, mostly Sonny & Cher, is still overly long. The Show within a Show idea still seems unnecessary. Bob Mackie fashion show is a knockout. “The Beat Goes On” sequence sums up Cher’s film career perfectly. Stephanie J. Block is a force. She’s an amazing actress & powerful singer. She just keeps getting better. Teal Wicks has show stopping moments as Lady Cher & newcomer Micaela Diamond is sweet & soulful as young Cher. Jarrod Spector, a supremely talented performer, is strong as Sonny Bono, and the great Emily Skinner, as Cher’s mother, is unforgettable. There’s a lot of fabulousness here waiting to break free but what the show needs is more heart and depth. We need more detail about the real Cher and what makes her tick.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to hear all of Cher's hits and learn a little about how her career began. You'll enjoy it if you like to see works in progress.

Don't see it if you prefer to see polished, workshopped material on stage. I am really looking forward to seeing how this show is presented on Broadway.

See it if you are from the Cher era - you don’t have to like all of her songs to enjoy the throwback time machine of the style, flair, and fun.

Don't see it if You aren’t into jukebox musicals!
