The Cher musical has a premiere date so start believing

On the day of our lord June 12, 2018, The Cher Show makes its debut at the Oriental Theatre in Chicago.

“My life as a musical on Broadway. It seems crazy, exciting and bizarre -- but that's probably how my life seems to most people,” Cher said in a press release.

Produced by Flody Suarez and Jeffrey Seller (who produced Hamilton), The Cher Show will be directed by Jason Moore with a book by Rick Elice, choreography by Christopher Gattelli, and music supervised and arranged by Daryl Waters (the original songs are, presumably, by Cher).

The synopsis, for lack of a better word, is fantastic:

The Cher Show is based on the life of Cherilyn Sarkisian La Piere Bono Allman or as her friends call her, Cher! The kid on a tricycle, vowing to be famous. The teenage phenom who crashes by twenty. The glam TV star who quits at the top. The would-be actress with an Oscar. The rock goddess with a hundred million records sold. The legend who’s done it all, still scared to walk on stage. The wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend. The woman, looking for love. The ultimate survivor, chasing her dream. They’re all here, dressed to kill, singing their asses off, telling it like it is. And they're all the star of The Cher Show.

The Cher Show will have a pre-Broadway run in Chicago until July 15, 2018, then move to New York's Neil Simon Theatre in the fall. Group tickets for Chicago are already available by phone. Individual tickets go on sale soon.
