The Cher Show Gives a Dazzling Tribute to an Icon
A Legendary Life Told Through Song and Spectacle: The Cher Show Unfolds the Icon’s Journey of Resilience, Reinvention and Stardom.
November 19th, 2024
The Broward Center for the Performing Arts brings a dazzling celebration of music, resilience, and reinvention to the stage with The Cher Show. This captivating musical chronicles the life of one of entertainment’s most iconic figures, showcasing both the triumphs and challenges of Cher’s rise to superstardom.
The production employs a clever narrative device, splitting Cher into three distinct personas: Babe (Ella Perez), Lady (Catherine Ariale) and Star (Morgan Scott). Each actress offers a unique take on the icon, with Perez portraying Cher’s youthful ambition, Ariale embodying her rise to superstardom, and Scott delivering the confidence of a seasoned legend. Their performances intertwine seamlessly, giving the audience a multifaceted view of Cher’s evolution.
Standout performances extend beyond the lead roles. Lorenzo Pugliese as Sonny Bono provides both humor and heartfelt emotion, highlighting the pivotal role Sonny played in Cher’s life. Tyler Pirrung as Bob Mackie injects flair and wit, while Lucy Werner brings warmth to her portrayal of Georgia Holt, Cher’s mother.
Under the visionary direction of Casey Hushion, The Cher Show strikes a masterful balance between spectacle and intimacy. Hushion brings a deep understanding of Cher’s multifaceted persona, crafting a narrative that feels both grand and personal. Her skillful pacing ensures the story flows seamlessly between pivotal moments, capturing the humor, heartbreak and triumph that define Cher’s journey.
It would be impossible to discuss The Cher Show without acknowledging the visual feast provided by Bob Mackie’s Tony Award-winning costumes. Each ensemble, from the sequined gowns to the feathered headdresses, is a tribute to Cher’s fearless approach to fashion. The iconic “If I Could Turn Back Time” look is recreated with stunning accuracy, drawing audible gasps from the audience. Mackie’s designs don’t just clothe the performers, they tell a story, amplifying Cher’s personality and style with every stitch and sparkle.
Kelly James Tighe’s set design transports the audience into Cher’s world, featuring a kaleidoscope of lights and dynamic stage elements reminiscent of her famous Las Vegas residencies. The lighting, synchronized perfectly with the music and choreography, enhances the emotional beats of the story. Even the technical aspects, such as the placement of microphones at the center of the performers’ foreheads, are thoughtfully integrated, ensuring pristine sound quality without detracting from the aesthetic.
Musical supervision by Kristin Stowell brings Cher’s legendary discography to life with energy and precision. Songs like “Believe,” “If I Could Turn Back Time,” and “I Got You Babe” bring the house down, each number capturing a pivotal moment in Cher’s story.
At its core, The Cher Show is a testament to resilience and self-determination. It portrays Cher’s battles with sexism, heartbreak, and the challenges of reinvention, celebrating her as an enduring symbol of strength. The narrative strikes a perfect balance between humor and poignancy, leaving the audience inspired by Cher’s unwavering spirit.
The Broward Center’s The Cher Show is a must-see production that shines a spotlight on one of pop culture’s most influential figures. With a talented cast, breathtaking costumes, and an electrifying score, the show is as much a tribute to Cher as it is a celebration of the power of perseverance. Don’t miss your chance to witness this unforgettable production.

Luli Fama celebrates its Paradise Found Cruise ’27 swimwear and resortwear collection with a luxury Miami launch at its Dadeland Mall boutique.
August 20, 2026
Miami swimwear favorite Luli Fama is stepping into Cruise ’27 with Paradise Found, a new swimwear and resortwear collection inspired by tropical escapes, exotic prints and effortless vacation glamour.
South Florida Insider has already taken a closer look at the Luli Fama Paradise Found collection, and it feels made for Miami.
The new Cruise ’27 collection combines the bold, body-confident swimwear Luli Fama is known for with elevated resort pieces designed to move effortlessly from the beach and pool to cocktails and dinner.
On Thursday, August 20, Luli Fama will celebrate Paradise Found with an exclusive evening at its newest Dadeland Mall boutique in Miami, complete with fashion, light bites, personalized surprises, and a luxe espresso martini bar.
Inside Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Collection
Paradise Found is inspired by the feeling of discovering a hidden tropical retreat.
Think lush landscapes, warm golden hour light, exotic patterns, and silhouettes made for somewhere beautiful.
The collection features Luli Fama signatures, including flattering ruched details, seamless construction, adjustable fits, and statement swimwear, alongside an expanded selection of resortwear.
We especially love the pieces that blur the line between swim and ready-to-wear.
Flowing dresses, sleek coverups, and body-skimming silhouettes make it easy to transition from a sun-drenched afternoon to an evening out without losing that relaxed resort feeling.
It is sensual, polished, and unmistakably Miami.
Luli Fama Brings Luxury Resort Style to Miami
There is a reason Paradise Found feels so natural in South Florida.
In Miami, resortwear is not reserved for vacation.
A swimsuit can become part of an outfit. A coverup can take you to lunch. A flowing resort dress can carry you from an afternoon by the water straight into cocktails and dinner.
Luli Fama has always understood that lifestyle.
Paradise Found takes it a step further, creating a Cruise ’27 wardrobe that feels as appropriate for a tropical getaway as it does for a weekend in Miami.
The campaign captures that mood beautifully, pairing the collection with palms, lush greenery, tropical architecture and the kind of sun soaked setting that makes you want to extend your vacation indefinitely.
Paradise Found Comes to Luli Fama at Dadeland Mall
Luli Fama will bring the world of Paradise Found to life on Thursday, August 20 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at its newest boutique at Dadeland Mall in Miami.
The intimate celebration will bring together invited guests, influencers, celebrities and media for an early look at Cruise ’27.
Luli Fama is also dressing invited guests in pieces from the brand, allowing the new collection to be experienced the way it was designed to be worn: in motion, styled and out for the evening.
Luli After Hours Espresso Martini Bar
Fashion is only part of the experience.
For the Paradise Found celebration, Luli Fama is introducing Luli After Hours, an Espresso Martini Bar inspired by the glamour of the collection.
Guests will be able to sip three specialty espresso martinis created for the evening.
The Luli Babe puts a polished spin on the classic espresso martini, while Golden Hour pairs salted caramel with edible gold shimmer. Miami After Dark takes a richer approach with chocolate hazelnut and a cocoa dust finish.
Along with cocktails, guests can expect light bites, curated details and a special personalized surprise.
The result feels less like a traditional retail event and more like checking into a private resort for the evening.
A Miami Swimwear Brand Celebrates at Home
For a brand with such a strong connection to South Florida, launching Paradise Found in Miami feels especially fitting.
Luli Fama has built its identity around colorful, confident swimwear and resort fashion with a distinctly tropical point of view.
Paradise Found carries that identity into Cruise ’27 while giving it a more elevated, escapist mood.
And with Luli Fama’s newest boutique now at Dadeland Mall, Miami shoppers have another destination to experience the brand in person.
After getting our own closer look at Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 collection, we can safely say the name fits.
Paradise has officially been found, and this time, it is in Miami.
