\"\"<\/a>I keep hearing rumors that the US traveling-version of the Broadway musical The Cher Show<\/em> is set to launch. Fall 2023 is the latest story. But the show\u2019s own site<\/a> still lists the old start date of Fall 2021!<\/p>\n

The Broadway version of the show opened on December 3, 2018 with Stephanie J. Block, Teal Wicks and Miraela Diamond as the three Chers, and when I went to see it in January of 2019, the programs weren\u2019t available\u00a0 yet. Which seemed incredible since any fan would want a program to a Broadway show, at minimum.<\/p>\n

And then I forgot about it. So it was a long time, (maybe even after the show closed), that I ordered my copy from the online store.<\/p>\n

When the traveling UK show started up in 2022, their program was ready right away and I mailed away for a few of their show\u2019s artifacts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These programs are very different. The shows were different. Different cast, sets and costumes. And I think their programs reflect those differences.<\/p>\n

The Broadway program has a beautiful design, the three stylized Cher drawings, very colorful incarnations. There\u2019s a emoji-strewn message from Cher inside. The program is maybe a little too much like a Cher concert program; it has the mandatory two-page collage of her record album covers. Always impressive to see, but not entirely germane in this book. There are shots of the cast, with quotes and song titles to situate them in the show. There\u2019s a big centerpiece, fold-out of the Bob Mackie costumes. On the one hand, this almost puts too much emphasis on the clothes, (Mackie here calls the costumes \u201cget-ups”), but in light of the dead, old critics view in the 1970s that Cher was “just a clothes hanger,” this doubling-down feels alright.<\/p>\n

There are lists of Cher\u2019s hits and awards, Bob Mackie sketches for the show, (little art pieces themselves). One-hundred costumes were created for the show, including a recreation of\u00a0 the hole-fit which Mackie always calls Swiss Cheese. Mackie retells the story of meeting Cher and what a young \u201csprite\u201d she was back then. How daring she has always been.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\nThere are some great shots of the sets. But one of the best things about this programs is the list of accolades about Cher.<\/p>\n

TV producer Flody Suarez talks about germinating the idea 17 years prior. (Didn’t the Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour<\/em> producers Chris Bearde and Allan Blye once try to\u00a0 mount a Sonny & Cher musical back in the 1980s or 90s?)<\/p>\n

Suarez went to New York and met people who knew people on Broadway who got the show hooked up with stage producer Jeffrey Seller and Rick Elice of another successful jukebox musical Jersey Boys<\/em>. He says Rick Elice demanded great performers and nice people. With Cher involved, it was easier to get Bob Mackie involved.<\/p>\n

And what about Cher? Suarez talks about her power, her vulnerability, tenacity, kindness and originality.<\/p>\n

In Rick Elice\u2019s notes, he talks about a visit from Cher in the summer of 2015 when his life was at its lowest ebb due to the death of his long-time partner, how Cher helped him through it. He talked about Cher as \u201ca minister\u201d who is \u201cattentive to people.\u201d Someone who is kind, thoughtful, fun, generous, surprising, full of variety.<\/p>\n

The choreographer Christopher Gattelli talks about Cher as an inspiration, her confidence, strength and resilience. He sees her as a kick-ass singer and actress and a goddess warrior.<\/p>\n

Music supervisor Daryl Waters talks about hearing \u201cGypsies Tramps and Thieves\u201d as a young music nerd and dissecting it. He calls Cher caring, funny, poignant, irreverent.<\/p>\n

(These are some good words.)<\/p>\n

Director Jason Moore talks about trying to create an old variety show set and how they tried to pick the songs that would tell Cher’s life in less than six hours. He felt the theme of the show was about facing fears in order to grow and be stronger. Oh, and glitter. Glitter with intimacy and authenticity, how they tried to embody Cher\u2019s essence without impersonation.<\/p>\n

He sees Cher as \u201ca beautifully complex woman, larger than life and a deeply authentic human being, spectacular, extravagant, intimate and emotional.\u201d<\/p>\n

Set designers Christine Jones and Brett J. Banakis talk about wanting an over-the-top look of glamour (because we want to see Cher big and strong) but also\u00a0 intimate sets (because we want to see her up-close and vulnerable). Cher has covered so many years and so many mediums, they said. She\u2019s \u201cfierce.\u201d They wanted to use mirrors to highlight the multiple Chers, sometimes struggling through the fragmentation of the world. They needed flexibility with the lighting and they didn\u2019t want to upstage the \u201cget-ups.\u201d They call the show a \u201ckaleidoscopic ride through a psychological closet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lighting designer Kevin Adams talks about bringing together a contrast between the dark-haired Cher and the big bright spectacle.<\/p>\n

It often seemed the US show struggled to show Cher\u2019s legitimacy (or a jukebox musical\u2019s legitimacy for that matter). The UK show never seemed to face such a struggle, more willing did their press seem to just just let go and have some Cher-fun. This might be because the UK show traveled and the US show was ensconced in the Great White Way.<\/p>\n

As I\u2019m working on a Katharine Hepburn project at the moment, I can’t help but be reminded of the differences between her Broadway and London Shakespeare reviews similarly. You\u2019d think if anyone would be overly serious about Shakespeare\u2026except\u00a0 the US critics couldn\u2019t get over Hepburn\u2019s New England accent doing Shakespeare and the London critics couldn’t care less. They loved seeing Hepburn do Shakespeare.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So it was much more pleasant to watch the UK show publicity unfold. And I love the Broadway Chers but casting people of color was brilliant. (The three UK Chers were Millie O\u2019Connel, Danielle Steers and Debbie Kurup.)<\/p>\n

Their program has ads in the front and back advertising jukebox musicals about The Osmonds, Tina Turner, an unfortunate musicalization of Pretty Woman,<\/em> and the choreographer Oti Mabuse\u2019s own show. This program goes more into the biography of Cher (because maybe they\u2019re not as familiar with it?) which calls Cher a \u201crock and roll survivor\u2026a prize fighter.\u201d The bio goes into Sonny\u2019s unfaithfulness and how he absconded with all their money . It states Cher\u2019s freedom cost her over a million dollars.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a page of movie highlights where Cher talks about being a bumper car (\u201cI won\u2019t stop.) This program also talks about Cher\u2019s iconic impact on LGBTQ, her struggles with alienation, mistreatment and marginalization. They talk about her sass and style, how she tells it like it is, her survival. They point out her role as a lesbian in the movie Silkwood<\/em>, her relationship to her son Chaz and how she supported drag queens back to her 1979 show that brought the art of drag into the mainstream, the influence of her style on people like Kim Kardashian and Miley Cyrus.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a page of celebrities praising Cher: Gwen Stefani (who credits Cher for making us strong and true to ourselves), Beyonce, Sarah Paulson, Christina Aguilera and Rob Halford, whose comments are the best and most specific. He says she has the \u201cmost beautiful voice\u2026beautiful, beautiful texture in her voice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The production notes in this version talk about the show\u2019s color palette, how Rick Elice made a visit to Cher\u2019s own closet to generate ideas about the story, (and being in the closet<\/em> is such a wonderful metaphor here). Set designer Tom Rogers talk about wanting to avoid making the show \u201ca soulless presentation of her songs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What\u2019s great about this program is the 4 pages of behind-the-scenes rehearsals, it gives list of acts and numbers, longer credit pages (like a Playbill), all the actors and dancers, everyone\u2019s Tweet handle, 5 pages of the creative bios and 1 page of production credits.<\/p>\n

Although I love the design of the Broadway program, it\u2019s very slim in information and beyond words, doesn’t take you behind the curtain. It feels bare bones compared to the thicker, more outgoing UK program.<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to what the traveling US show programs will look like. Fingers crossed that even happens.<\/p>\n
