The Sofitel is located in Midtown Manhattan, a 15-minute walk from the Neil Simon Theatre, where The Cher Show is playing. It takes the audience from Cher’s variety show era to her superstar days. The story follows three versions of Cher – named Babe, Lady and Star – from her childhood, her relationship with Sonny Bono, their divorce and her subsequent solo pop stardom. Three different actresses play the famous diva, who has actually joined the cast on stage.
