If you heard the name Cheryl Sarkisian, there might not be any recognition but shorten her name to CHER and the impressions would be automatic and immediate, astounding and absolute. Cher is a legend, an icon, a star in the heavens and her story is dramatic and astonishing and worthy of appreciation. You now have the unique opportunity to meet Cher as a young girl, a rising glamorous star and a sparkling icon of the stage. It takes three versions of her to play her completely, with Catherine Ariale as Lady, Ella Perez as Babe and Morgan Scott as Star to achieve the full effect. Thanks to playwright Rick Elice, Waterbury's Palace Theater will present the full package in “The Cher Show” Friday, February 28 at 8 p.m., and Saturday, March 1 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Be there for the total Bob Mackie sequined effect!
All during her troubled childhood, Cher had one overwhelming desire: to be famous. Today at age 78, she has achieved stardom as part of the folk rock duo with husband Sonny Bono, been a television and movie star and cemented her status as a strong, independent cultural icon as one of the best selling musical artists of all time. The path was not always easy. Come discover her rocky road to greatness.
With her distinctive low contralto voice, this “Goddess of Pop” has carved a singular staircase to the heavens that will be dramatically illustrated in almost three dozen hit songs like “If I Could Turn Back Time,” “Half Breed,” “I Got You Babe,” “Bang Bang,” "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves,” "I Found Someone,” ”Strong Enough,” “A Dream Is a Wish,” and “Take Me Home” and many more.
A legend in her own time, with accolades that pile up to the sky, a star in her own universe, Cher is a veritable electrifying one of a kind. Come watch Bob Mackie make her a fashion figure of glitz and sequins. Cher is the only single artist to dominate Billboard number one designation for seven straight decades in a row, from the 1960s to the 2020s, selling over 100 million records worldwide.
For tickets ($47-87, plus fees), call the Palace, 300 East Main Street, Waterbury at 203-346-2000 or online at palacetheaterct.org. A pre-show dinner can be reserved in advance at the Poli Club upstairs.
There is only the one the only Cher. Don’t miss making her intimate and personal acquaintance. She is spectacular in every sense of the word.
