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

Pretty positive review from the Hollywood Reporter..

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 ?format=auto&width=600 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!

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.

There won't be one until opening night, when the show is frozen

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)

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 change
