The musical has been reworked for UK audiences, and it’s currently enjoying a UK tour, which plays this week at the Milton Keynes Theatre.Ĭher herself has an abundance of natural theatricality to her persona, and The Cher Show aims to bring that to the stage, detailing her life from her small-town upbringing and feeling like an outcast due to her mixed heritage, to finding success and later stardom in her partnership with Sonny Bono (played here by Lucas Rush), through multiple failures, comebacks, romantic ups and downs and a rollercoaster career that saw her knocked down many times and always getting back up again. That day came in 2018, when The Cher Showhad its tryout in Chicago prior to running for a year on Broadway, in a production that garnered Tony Awards for leading actress Stephanie J Block and costume designer Bob Mackie. With a back catalogue of bangers and a career in the entertainment industry spanning six decades, it was inevitable that the life and music of Cher would one day be brought to the stage.
