With book by Tony and Olivier Award-winning Rick Elice (Jersey Boys, The Addams Family, Peter and the Starcatcher), direction by Arlene Phillips (Saturday Night Fever, Starlight Express, Grease), choreography by Oti Mabuse (two-time Strictly Come Dancing champion) and costume design by Gabriella Slade (Six, In The Heights, Spice World 2019 Tour), The Cher Show is coming to the Alhambra Theatre in Bradford as part of UK & Ireland Tour.

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 Cher’s meteoric rise to fame. Cher takes the audience by the hand and introduces them to the influential people in her life, from her mother and Sonny Bono, to fashion designer and costumier Bob Mackie. It shows how she battled the men who underestimated her, fought the conventions and, above all, was a trailblazer for independence.

The musical is packed with 35 of her biggest hits, including If I Could Turn Back Time, I Got You Babe, Strong Enough, The Shoop Shoop Song and Believe.

The role of Cher will be played by Debbie Kurup, Danielle Steers and Millie O’Connell. The production features the actresses portraying Cher in three different ways throughout her iconic career, with Debbie as ‘Star’, Danielle as ‘Lady’ and Millie as ‘Babe’.

    I love concerts like this, I travel for them. Thank God that nowadays it's very easy to buy tickets at a good price and without queues. When I was advised to read more https://voyagu.com/destinations/business-class-flights-to-europe-poland-warsaw/ I was glad that I could get business class tickets to Poland and take a break from my hard work. Now I am in Warsaw and I can say that the flight was very comfortable and my vacation was a success.

    I don't understand people who don't read books. They also help improve memory, develop imagination, learn to analyze and think critically. I used to find thousands of ideas for your police brutality, used https://graduateway.com/essay-examples/police-brutality/ for that. Now everything has completely changed, I do everything myself. In general, they offer the opportunity to immerse yourself in other worlds and feel the emotions of the characters, as well as learn something new and interesting. All in all, reading books is a great way to enrich your life and develop your abilities!

    Super show, it's just something unsurpassed. I have always been interested in how people achieve such skill and where they get their inspiration from, that's why I study celebrity biographies, like for example Yanet Garcia, learn more about this https://only-celebs.fanslet.com/yanet-garcia/ In general, I believe that by studying life experience, I get useful advice and motivation for myself.
