Review: Broadway’s ‘The Cher Show’ at Broward Center has a lot of Cher but not enough heart

The question is: Will Cher fans get enough Cher in “The Cher Show”? The answer is: Cher … er … we mean sure. The Broadway national tour now at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts is Cher-like, Cher-full and Cher-licious. 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.” And you get three Chers — that is to say, three actors playing the superstar at different stages of her iconic showbizzy life: The role is nicknamed Babe (played by Ella Perez) for the 1950s and ’60s period, Lady (Catherine Ariale) in the 1970s, and Star (Morgan Scott) in the 1980s and ’90s. So what you have is truly a Cher and Cher and … um … Cher-alike jukebox musical. Yes, it is a glitz-blitz with seemingly endless costume changes, each with more and more spangles, dangles and bangles covering less and less body-ody-ody.
