Cher will be portrayed by three women at various stages of her life… Stephanie J. Block, Teal Wicks and Micaela Diamond (recently featured in the ensemble of NBC-TV’s live Easter Sunday “Jesus Christ Superstar”), and will follow the singer through her two husbands, Sonny Bono (Jarrod Spector) and Gregg Allman (Matthew Hydzik), the music, and her roller coaster life. The Costume Designer of the show is the legendary Bob Mackie, who first dressed Cher in 1967 on “The Carol Burnett Show.” He is also portrayed in “The Cher Show” by Michael Barresse.
