Review: I’LL EAT YOU LAST: A CONVERSATION WITH SUE MENGERS at The Bent

It was the same year she met the not-yet legendary Barbra Streisand, “before she lost the ‘a’,” quips Cathy Moriarty as Mengers in The Bents staging of John Logan’s play, I’LL EAT YOU LAST: A Chat With Sue Mengers, which premiered on Friday, December 6.

Review: THE CHER SHOW at Curran Theatre

The Cher Show blows through town faster than the multitude of Bob Mackie costume changes and we’re better off for it. Even die-hard Cher fanatics had a challenging time mustering excitement for this tired jukebox musical, settling for the flash and cheese of 60’s style comic vignettes rather than delving into perhaps some interesting insight into the resilient pop icon who bucked the male dominated entertainment scene.

Review: THE CHER SHOW at THEATRE UNDER THE STARS

I am unsure if I know of any other music diva who needs three different actresses to play her, but Cher seems to have required that. We have not one, not two, but three Chers in this show. And do they trot on, do their part of life, and leave? Heck no! They all talk to each other, advise each other, and sing together all night long. It’s like the three musketCHERs or something!
Review: THE CHER SHOW at The Stifel Theatre

THE CHER SHOW is an eye-popping traipse down memory lane but suffers from drive-by storytelling. While far from perfect as a full-fledged Broadway musical, there are plenty of wildly entertaining moments that make this show more enjoyable than it should be. It is the casting, strong vocal performances, Bob Mackie’s over-the-top costume design, Charlie Morrison’s concert-like lighting design, Jonthan Infante, and Kelly James Tighe’s visually interesting video design that give this production an entertaining musical revue feel. Fans of Cher will not be disappointed with this production. There is plenty of music, talent, glitz, glamour, and fun to satisfy.
Interview: Morgan Scott On Starring in THE CHER SHOW National Tour

Cher needs only one name to be immediately identified. When it comes to dramatizing her life for the stage, however, it’s not surprising that it takes three performers to play her in the Tony Award-winning musical “The Cher Show,” which comes to the Boch Center Wang Theatre March 15–17 on its North American tour.
