THE CHER SHOW 
Director - Kevin P Hill
​Sara Andreas - Choreographer 
Music Director - Milton Granger 
First rehearsal - October 7 
Opens - October 21

Closes - November 2 

BABE – Female, 18-22
Cher at the early stage of her life. Fiercely independent but insecure about her looks, being “different”, being challenged from dyslexia. Anxious to “get up and get out”, to sing, to dance, to act, to be somebody. Determined to be famous, drawn to Hollywood and the movies. Surrounded by women as a girl; eager for romantic encounters as a teen. Seeing Sonny, the first time is her “Romeo and Juliet moment.” Must have an excellent pop/rock voice. 
 
LADY – Female, 30-35
Cher in her 30’s. Delighted by the power and trappings of stardom. Exhausted by the demands of a fully booked life. She wears her fame and her femininity as naturally as any of the famous Mackie creations, with ease and aplomb. In the spotlight, she thrives. Out of it, she pines for the minutiae of ordinary life – going to the movies, shopping with friends, being a mommy, making music. Must have an excellent pop/rock voice. 
 
STAR – Female, 45-55
Cher as we see her now. She might have been willing to settle for less if she’d known that this is what it’s like to have it all. But she doesn’t settle, she strives. She pushes through the old fears and insecurities to try new things, to be new versions of herself. Brings her talent for being real to her music, and to her acting. And, to her search for love, for a good man who can handle a powerful woman. Must have an excellent pop/rock voice. 
 
SONNY BONO – Male, 35-45
Charming, funny, adorable, ambitious – but capable of being controlling, inconstant and manipulative. He’s the hero and the villain – a romantic and a cad, a lover and a jailer, part Othello and part Iago. That’s what makes him interesting, to Cher and to us. Must have an excellent pop/rock voice. 
 
GEORGIA HOLT / LUCILLE BALL – Female, 40-50
Cher’s mother. Gorgeous, talented and independent. Could’ve given Marilyn Monroe a run for her money but lacked the killer instinct. Happy to attach and detach herself from any guy, even the ones she marries. She wants her daughter to be somebody, and she teaches her by example. Not the cliché stage mother, not the cliché stay-at-home mom, but squarely in her kid’s corner, through thick and thin. Actor playing Georgia also doubles as Lucille Ball. Requires a very strong Actor with an excellent pop/rock voice. 
 
BOB MACKIE / ROBERT ALTMAN – Male, 35-55
The somewhat eccentric fashion designer responsible for designing Cher’s outfits for her shows. The actor also doubles as famous film and theatre director Robert Altman. Must have excellent comedic timing and a fantastic singing voice. 
 
GREGG ALLMAN / JOHN SOUTHALL - Male, 25-40
Known for his success as part of “The Allman Brothers Band”. A romantic relationship with Cher starts after she separates from Sonny Bono and eventually, they marry. Young, handsome, sexy, and surprisingly smart. Must have an excellent pop/rock singing voice and guitar playing is a plus. 
 
ROB CAMILLETTI – Male, 25-35
“The Bagel Boy”. Cher’s very young love interest later in her life. A sweet, charming, Italian young man. Genuinely loves Cher for who she really is. Must have an excellent pop/rock voice. 

ENSEMBLE - Any gender, 20-50
Excellent singers, dancers, and actors for various Ensemble tracks and to understudy Principals.
