Ashlee Simpson!

Wish she would just do Mame.

awh, the young crowd think '30 Rock' invented the concept of 'EGOT'. I've been an awards queen for a while now...it's always been there.

anyway. Miranda Sings should play the young version of Cher, the middle version of Cher can be played by Cher herself, and the older version by Carol Channing.

I'd go... more times than I'd like to admit.

Assuming this makes it to Broadway, my prediction: if it is an open-ended run, it will collapse as soon as she leaves the show.

They should title it '3 CHAIRS'

and it should include the Cher does all the parts to West Side Story 'Tonight' quintet.

AND
the script should be written based off of Cher's Tweets- because they are hilarious...and should be recited phonetically.

and it should include this;

^ it just doesn't get any better than that.

"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."

I would say get Meryl Streep to play her!

Bumping out of sheer curiosity... has there been any news about this since the summer?

I dont see this working. Cher could win a Tony by doing a play, not some theme park pastiche of her life. Of course, I'd love it, but it sounds kinda silly. It's not gonna win her a Tony. Plus, she doesn't write her own songs, so its not like they actually document her life (ala Dolly).

This would have to be a limited run or its gonna tank hard.

Cher-just come to Broadway and act the sh*# out of a meaty dramatic role.

[all that jazz]

So excited for this! Love Cher! Could this possibly compete with Motown?

Christine Pedi does a fairly good Cher, she should be the midddle age one.

[TheatreFan4]

I demand a Chaz Bono Shuffle.

[SweetLips]

If Bette can do a one woman non-singing play--why can't Cher? Too similar?

There is no information which should lead you to believe this will happen in the current season or at all. This thread was started nine months ago with no updates to the info.
