I saw this on Broadway.com. "Cher: The Musical"? Thoughts. from RC in Austin, Texas
CHER
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Posted: 6/25/12 at 12:16pmThank goodness. Now that Priscilla is gone, Broadway needs to refill its gay quotient.

Posted: 6/25/12 at 12:17pmI think she's going for EGOT. This musical sounds like it would be a lot of fun. As the above poster referenced, it would definitely fill the void left by Priscilla's closing.

Posted: 6/25/12 at 12:52pmSomehow I don't see this getting beyond the Twitter stage, although it has the potential to either be a huge hit or a huge disaster.
#6Cher Is Writing A Musical About Her Life
Posted: 6/25/12 at 1:14pmThis actually has been in development for awhile and she has some pretty legitimate Broadway names writing it with her and who are interested in producing it. It definitely will get beyond the "twitter" stage, but probably not for another year or two at least.

#9Cher Is Writing A Musical About Her Life
Posted: 6/25/12 at 1:23pmHuh. I can see the potential for a Cher musical- but not sure about the "Three Chers" concept in the story. If Cher's sitting onstage narrating, you're not going to want to hear some young actress sing "Half-Breed"- you're going to want to hear the lady herself. And if Cher sings all the songs, why have two other actresses "Playing" the parts?

Posted: 6/25/12 at 1:55pmI 'might' be interested, but I cannot imagine that I'd care enough to go multiple times. (And yes, the premise seems a bit odd. (Her being IN makes it more appealing.)

broadway.com got it a little mixed up I think though.
I don't think Cher is actually planning on playing herself. At least not yet.
I am a huge fan of hers and have been dying for her to come back to Broadway, but I don't know how I would feel about her playing herself.

"Interesting she's going to do 8 shows a week?"
Um .. YES! If you look at what her schedule was like for the last tour and her Vegas stint.. 8 shows a week is nothing. Except for a few weeks in Vegas that she got sick.
I would go see this in a minute.

It's gotta be older than that show.
#20Cher Is Writing A Musical About Her Life
Posted: 6/25/12 at 2:18pmEh. I like her personality. I like some of her acting and I like some of her music. I'd rather watch her interact at a dinner party for two hours than watch other performers recreate her life and music on stage.

At least one of her incarnations HAS to be a Man.
