Cher developing Broadway musical about … Cher!

Okay, I’m going to try and remain calm, cool and collected as I write this post but realize that it is very difficult.

That’s because the gay boy in me is just about to burst out of the house, run down the block to Sunset Boulevard, and dance in the middle of the street!

OMG.

Okay, here goes folks: Cher, my queen, the performer whose records got me through many a adolescent day until it really did get better, is working on a Broadway musical about her epic life.

Here some of the details from Playbill.com: The musical will incorporate songs from her career, with three different actresses set to play her at various stages of her life. One actress will play a young Cher through her “Sonny and Cher” years, while another will play the icon through the “Believe” tour, with a third to inhabit the star at the current point in her life.

Cher also revealed that she is part of the writing process on the musical, which has been in development for “quite a while.” Broadway is the goal.

No producers have been named as attached to the project. While Cher didn’t explicitly state that she intended to be a part of it, she did tease via twitter, “I could be old Cher!”

But Cher never really gets old, does she?

    Wish Cher would play herself in the anticipated musical she is writing. I saw her in her only Broadway appearance in the play “Come Back To the Five and Dime…Jimmy Dean” and she was mesmerizing. Quite a stage presence.
