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.

Between flying queens, strong pours, and a room full of Pride week energy, Palace turned Friday night into one of the hottest parties on Ocean Drive.
April 11, 2026
During Miami Beach Pride Week, plenty of venues try to capture the moment, but Palace Bar made Friday night feel like the place everyone wanted to be. The Haus of Gucci Ball brought together drag, fashion, nightlife, and the kind of high energy crowd that made the whole evening feel elevated from the start.
The atmosphere hit immediately. Palace was glowing, the music kept the room alive, and the crowd was fully locked in. It felt vibrant, glamorous, and very Miami Beach. More than just a dinner outing, the night unfolded like a full Pride experience on Ocean Drive.
The clear highlight was a queen whose acrobatic performance completely took over the room. She moved with an incredible mix of strength, control, and confidence, turning the floor into her stage and delivering a routine that felt both dazzling and deeply seductive. At one point, she was flipping around on a man with such effortless precision that the whole crowd seemed to stop at once. It was captivating, sexy, and easily one of the most memorable moments of the night.
The food and drinks absolutely kept up. We had the filet bites and tuna tostones, both perfect for sharing between performances, along with skinny margaritas and lemon drops that were dangerously easy to drink. And yes, Palace was pouring strong, which only added to the fun. The cocktails matched the mood of the night perfectly: bold, smooth, and hard to stop ordering.
What makes Palace Bar work so well during Miami Beach Pride is that the energy never drops. The performers are not just part of the background. They pull the whole room in. The crowd responds, the music keeps moving, and the night keeps building. That kind of momentum is exactly what makes an event feel worth showing up for.
The Haus of Gucci Ball was one part of Palace Bar’s larger Miami Beach Pride Week programming, which has helped make the venue one of the biggest draws on Ocean Drive this week. With events spanning multiple days, Palace has become a go to destination for people looking for drag performances, nightlife, rooftop energy, DJs, and a crowd that wants to celebrate Pride in full.
That is what makes Palace such a fixture during Miami Beach Pride Week. It is not just about location or history. It is about creating nights that actually feel exciting once you are there. Friday night’s Haus of Gucci Ball had the glamour, the chemistry, the performances, and the kind of atmosphere that kept people fully engaged from beginning to end.
If you were at Palace Bar on Friday night, you already know how good it was. If you missed it, this was one of those Miami Beach Pride nights worth hearing about.
