The singer has revealed that she is working on a Broadway show based on her life story and using her songs – and that she will be played by three different actors
Cher is helping writers to turn her back catalogue into a musical. Three actors could play Cher after the singer revealed that an inventive musical based on her life was being developed for the stage.
Earlier this week, the 66-year-old singer took to Twitter to reveal that she was working with producers to write a musical that uses her songs to tell her life story. While the planned timescale remains unclear, the singer said that the production is being developed with Broadway in mind.
Currently, the musical focuses on three stages of the singer's life, with a different actor playing her in each part. One actor will portray her before she met Sonny Bono; another after the couple separated through to her Believe tour in 1999, and a third will play the singer in the present day.
The singer stressed her own involvement in the production would be strong.
However, her fans shouldn't get too excited too early, as her representatives told Access Hollywood that any "Broadway show is a long way off".

The longer the better lol.
Sorry - I know she will have devoted fans on here (and I really like her as an ACTRESS) but I really detest her vocals and her kind of music. And IMO yet another jukebox musical bio is the last thing musical theatre needs.
