“The Cher Show is the ultimate celebration of a true icon, and there’s no better time to experience it as Cher turns 80 this May,”
said Steven Glaudini, Producing Artistic Director. “This production is packed with the music, glamour, and resilience that define her extraordinary career. We’re especially excited to feature Morgan Scott, who starred in the First National Tour and brings authenticity and star power to one of the three Chers, alongside the incredible Constantine Maroulis. Constantine’s journey from American Idol to Tony Award-nominated Broadway performer—with standout roles in “Rock of Ages,” “Jekyll & Hyde,” and “The Wedding Singer”—adds another level of excitement to this already electrifying show. This is a must-see event under the stars.”
Superstars come and go. Cher is forever. For six straight decades, only one unstoppable force has flat-out dominated popular culture, breaking down barriers, pushing boundaries, and letting nothing and no one stand in her way. Tracking the icon’s rise to fame and legendary career, three actresses will bring Cher’s story to life on stage, marking distinct phases in her life. Logan Eliza plays “Babe” – the bright-eyed kid starting out, with Samantha Tullie as “Lady” – the glam pop star, and Morgan Scott as “Star” – the cultural icon.
Constantine Maroulis is featured in the roles of Gregg Allman and John Southall, with Adam Lendermon as Bob Mackie/Robert Altman/Frank, and Meghan O’ Brien as Georgia Holt and Lucille Ball. Beau Brians stars as Sonny Bono.
Rounding out the cast are Shanna Brajevic, John Cardenas, Ashley Chavarria, Kristen Daniels, Kristen Dasto, Edvan Galván, Nicole Geis, Leilua Kruse, Alexandra Kunin, Becca Lind, Latrell Logan, Ryan Perry Marks, Nathan Moreno, Izzy Nelson, Troy Ozuna, Gabrielle Paul, Andy Ben Reynolds, Trevor Ashlin Rex, and Helen Tait.
Moonlight’s production of THE CHER SHOW is directed and choreographed by Nikki Snelson and is joined by Lyndon Pugeda, Music Director and Conductor. Renetta Lloyd is re-creating the legendary Bob Mackie’s Cher costumes. Scenic design is by Andrew Hammer, Lighting Design by Ryan Marsh, Sound Design by Jordan Gray, Costume Design by Janet Pitcher, Video Design by Blake McCarty, Hair & Wig Design by Peter Herman, Properties Design by Chaunsa Oyos, and Melissa Bonilla is Stage Manager.
