Tuesday 15th November 2022 at York Grand Theatre and Opera House. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The best thing about The Cher Show, aside from the stellar talent at the heart of it, is that it does exactly what it should do: it reminds us all, loud and clear, what an absolute diamond Cher is.

Thursday 10th November 2022 at The Old Red Lion Theatre Pub, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Note: some mild spoilers follow. TW: references to depression, self-harm, suicide, and suicidal thoughts/ideation. In recent years, I’ve grown quite sceptical of the two-hander “uni hook up” play.

Thursday 27th October 2022 at Brockley Jack Studio Theatre, London. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviewer: Emma Dorfman Alternate-history plays, for the most part, have the tendency to be more alien than not.
