This is timely, so I wanted to bring it up. Yesterday was Mother's Day, and I had never been to a Broadway Show. I asked my son if, for Mother's Day, he would go and see The Cher Show with me. My wonderful son said that he would. I will tell you the story, so that you get the full impact of what I'm saying.
That being said, I am a big enough Cher fan to decide that it would all be worth it to make my way to The Neil Simon Theater and watch The Cher Show. My loving son went along. Winter coats and rain gear and all. We have been to the city numerous times. It's long been one of my favorite places to go. We always take the train in and run around on the subway, which is what we did yesterday. We knew we would get wet, but we hate to drive in NYC. Imagine that.
When in doubt, stop in Times Square and eat something. I'd never been to the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square. I'd been to the original uptown, but not the modern version. It was Mother's Day, so they were providing lots of foods that us mom's don't eat because we're dieting. It was delicious. I love music, and so does my son, so we enjoyed the atmosphere. We had a very pleasant lunch and I even got a world's greatest mom ribbon from the wait staff. It was lovely. We stopped by Ripley's Believe it or Not to talk with their salesman out front. We decided not to visit that time, maybe another time.
Afternoon came and it was time for the show. I'd seen promos, and I'd seen interviews. I was unprepared. The show was fantastic! The three women playing Cher were not on stage at different times for different stages of her life. They were on stage together a lot and it was as though one Cher was in the forefront and the other two were her conscience a lot of the time. It was brilliant. I never would have thought to tell the story of someone's life in that manner, but it was brilliant. The costumes were all authentic, the singing was spot on. The use of Cher's songs to represent parts of her life was genius.
The Neil Simon Theater was amazing. The decor, the interior, and not a bad seat in the house. The acoustics are great as well. The show made time fly by and left us wanting more. If you think you know all about Cher...well you might, but this show tells it brilliantly.
I promised myself that I would see a Broadway Show one day, and I didn't want it to be a new version, a road show, a reboot, or anything like that. I always wanted to see a first run show, because I will most like only do it once. Cher has been my hero since I was a little girl. This show was the one I couldn't miss, and after seeing it; I was right. If you get a chance, see The Cher Show. Enjoy and Happy Mother's Day!
