| - We had great seats. Section 200 - front and center. The venue is smaller, which means that every seat is probably pretty good. We went on a Wednesday night, and the balcony never had anyone seated. Doors opened at 7pm, scheduled to start at 8pm and actually started about 8:45pm (true diva legend I guess you can do that).
First number it seemed pretty obvious Cher was lip syncing. In the songs she was actually singing the audio was pretty bad. Suddenly her mic was up at times and you could hear her and other times the music drowned her out. When her vocals were consistently loud and clear I'm pretty sure was all of the recorded music/vocals.
She puts on a good show and her dancers are decent. The outfits are awesome and outrageous like you'd expect. Cher is 71 years old and her body is in great shape still. Her energy seemed low at times, and her "dancing" was minimal. Although she bragged she can hold a 5 minute plank still! Better than me, so big props for that.
She did a very long monologue at the beginning that was funny and entertaining, though a bit confusing at times. I was thankful that was the only one. She changed outfits about every two songs and the dancers would come out and do a lengthy dance performance to entertain.
Also, per usual, she was very respectful of Sonny and his memory. She spoke about their success, history of getting started, and did a couple of songs with his vocals.
Would not have paid to see the show, especially if I'd known that is was average. I do like Cher but wouldn't say I'm a huge fan. The tickets were a comp but valued at $200 a piece. I would NOT have paid that. I think if you are a huge Cher fan then definitely go. You probably will think it's amazing. All of that said it didn't stop me from buying a Cher shirt with her ass proudly displayed on the front.
