If you try to do a Venn diagram of Cher fans and Broadway fans, you’re likely to end up with just a circle.
But we’ll see when tickets for the Broadway national tour of “The Cher Show” at Fort Lauderdale’s Broward Center for the Performing Arts go on sale starting at 10 a.m. Friday, Sept. 13.
The Great White Way production, which visits Fort Lauderdale from Nov. 19 to 24, has three actors playing the superstar at different stages of her glittery life: the role is nicknamed Babe for the 1950s and ’60s period, Lady in the 1970s, and Star in the 1980s and ’90s. So it’s truly a Cher and Cher-alike jukebox musical.
You’ll get 35 tunes from the Oscar-winning actor/pop music goddess’s songbook, including “If I Could Turn Back Time,” “Believe,” “Strong Enough,” “Dark Lady,” “The Beat Goes On” and “I Got You Babe.”

“The Cher Show” opened on Broadway in December 2018 and closed in August 2019, the same year the Tonys awarded costumer Bob Mackie and lead actor Stephanie J. Block in their respective categories.
The national tour was slated to begin in October 2020, but the pandemic shutdown scratched those plans. This tour finally got on the road in November 2023.
