As a big fan of the show in Chicago (saw it three times), I went twice during a trip to NYC last week. The first time I found act 1 a bit of a head scratcher (mostly because of MAJOR changes from Chicago, lines in strange new places, etc) but thought act 2 was pretty much everything I would have wanted out of a revamped Cher Show. The second time I was able to sit back and really enjoy act 1. They use Stephanie a lot more smartly (the audience loves her so much, and I didn't even realize how ...

Pretty positive review from the Hollywood Reporter..https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/cher-show-theater-1165871?utm_source=twitter&utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral

She did make it, and it didn't appear to have affected the show timing or anything! Trains in NYC/NJ can be so damn brutal.

I don't know if it was the same in NY, but in Chicago, Star narrated the first bits of Babe's story as a "Cher-y Fairy Godmother", since it revolved around young Cher seeing Cinderella. Kind of sad to hear it's been cut to be honest, that bit always made me smile

Particularly loving Cher hanging on Jarrod's shoulder!

People spoiling that little "cameo" bums me out I've seen it spoiled on several blogs too. The complete and utter JOY of that moment happening when you're not expecting it is SO fun - the whole audience gasping together. So bizarre, so silly, and it works perfectly!

The NY Times has a really interesting interview with Stephanie, Teal, and Micaela. This photo is amazing, I'm guessing these are the farewell tour outfits? They look amazing!

I was actually pretty impressed by Teal in Chicago, but she does easily get lost among SJB’s power and the surprise of Micaela. And now that they took several songs from her, I can’t imagine her standing out much. The other two have all the big numbers, and Ain’t Nobody’s Business is about the clothes, not Teal.

Accidental double post

Dark Lady would have been sung by Sonny and Greg, and it had a big dance number that was stunning. Big big bummer if that’s gone ??

so happy to hear that! i don't know if they're doing it how they did in chicago, but there were some LOVELY arrangements for it

Ohh, did they add Different Kind of Love Song back in?

Truly, the Believe ballad was so beautiful and gorgeous, but I can see it not fitting in this new retooling. I do really love the idea of "You Haven't Seen The Last of Me" being the crescendo of the story. But damn, I really wish that Believe ballad could be in there. The last time I saw the show in Chicago, that song got two full rounds of applause. It was insane.

MadsonMelo said: "If Teal had so much more than she has now, she was very lead to the show LOL"Teal was previously Cher through all of her marriage to Greg Allman, and SJB took over when Cher started acting. There was simply more of a balance between the Cher’s, whereas it now seems SJB is undeniably the lead (and rightfully so tbh, though Teal and Micaela are both wonderful)

Wow, they really did change so much. Sad they took so much away from Teal. And it kinda got buried in my first post - does sjb still sing the way of love? That was such a good moment

Marlothom said: "Saw this show tonight, having seen it five times in Chicago (including the last performance in Chicago where they did a 4 song concert). A lot has changed. SPOILERS AHEAD."GOODNESS that's a lot of changes! I saw it three times in Chicago and adored it so much there, though I knew it needed work. Sad so much has been gutted, particularly Cher/Rob because it showed such a sweet side of Cher. I've been trying to follow along with the changes since the first preview and wanted to...
