A brand new production of The Cher Show will tour to Liverpool's Empire Theatre in 2023.
Telling the story of the megastar who was once just a kid with big dreams, the production is written by Tony and Olivier Award-winning Rick Elice (Jersey Boys, The Addams Family, Peter and the Starcatcher) with choreography by two-time Strictly Coming Dancing champion Oti Mabuse.
The Cher Show will be at the Liverpool Empire from January 17-21, 2023. Tickets are on sale from 12pm today HERE.
Arlene Phillips (Saturday Night Fever, Starlight Express, Grease) is directing the musical, with costume design by Gabriella Slade (Six, In The Heights, Spice World 2019 Tour).
Oti said: "I cannot wait for audiences to see what we’re doing with The Cher Show. Her music covers so many styles, genres and rhythms, which makes it so exciting to choreograph.
"Every song in the show is a hit and we are going full out with exciting routines and movement. It’s going to be a party."
From a young child with big dreams, the shy daughter of an Armenian American truck driver, to the dizzying heights of global stardom, The Cher Show tells the incredible story of the singer's meteoric rise to fame.
She introduces the audience to the influential people in her life, from her mother and Sonny Bono, to fashion designer and costumier Bob Mackie.
The musical is packed with 35 of her biggest hits, including Turn Back Time, I Got You Babe, Strong Enough, The Shoop Shoop Song and Believe.
Arlene said: "I have been a fan of Cher since I first heard I Got You Babe in the mid-sixties and cannot wait to direct her musical.
"I love stories about strong inspirational legends like Cher and I am proud to be joined in the creative team by two women who have already made a huge impact in their careers"
The Cher Show made its debut on Broadway in 2018 in a production that earned two Tony Awards and delighted fans from around the world. This new production will be the European premiere.
