I was perusing the internet the other day and I found this piece of exciting news on TheHollywoodReporter.com's website...Cher's getting a musical!
You may or may not already know but according to TheHollywoodReporter.com this musical bio-pic will feature all or part of 35-40 of her best well known songs but this won't be a bio-pic in the traditional sense of the word bio-pic as according to Rick Elice who will write a book that will feature alongside this musical told The New York Times that this:
"...takes place in its subject's psychological closet, and in that closet is everything she's ever been in her life-everything she has every played, every song she's sung, everyone she's been married to, every pair of shoes she's worn, every success and every failure..."
Also according to TheHollywoodReporter's website this will be generally built like her "Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour" variety show that she along with husband Sonny Bono hosted in the 1970s.
According to this same TheHollywoodReporter.com's article this non-linear story bio-pic will feature at this point of its development three actresses at different stages of Cher's life.
"The Cher Show" will be produced by Flody Suarez and Jeffrey Seller who produced the musical "Hamilton", will be directed by Jason Moore who directed the musical "Avenue Q" over in the USA, choreographed by Christopher Gattelli who choreographed the musical "Newsies" over in the States, and the musical arrangement, orchestrations and musical supervisions will be done by Daryl Waters who did the musical arrangements, orchestrations and musical supervisions for the musical "Memphis".
This will according to TheHollywoodReporter.com will open on Broadway at the Neil Simon Theatre in Fall 2018,- or for us English people this means Autumn to winter time 2018-. But this musical will get a pre-Broadway world premier at Chicago's Oriental Theatre and will run from June 12th to July 15th 2018.
