Cher’s life and music are so extraordinary that someone made a Broadway musical about it. You cannot tell her story without also talking about her ex-husband and partner the late Sonny Bono. Today on Today, Jenna Bush asked her how he would feel about it. The legend told her, “He would like it. He’d be pissed off a little bit, but he knows it’s true. So he’d be OK.”
She says that the show “does not paint him in the best light, but then, it’s so crazy. he was so funny.” Although, there is a scene in the play that causes her to sob every time she sees it. That is when his ghost comes to talk to her.
Even though they had a difficult divorce, they did become friendly long before he died in a skiing accident in 1998.
If I were in NYC, I would see three women play the one and only Cher in The Cher Musical. There are still tickets available, so go see it.
