Bob Mackie, the legendary costume designer, has outdone himself with The Cher Show. He's created 700 costumes for the production, each one more outrageous and fabulous than the last. And, fun fact: Mackie has been working with Cher since the 1970s, so he knows a thing or two about her style.
Mackie's costumes are a huge part of the show's appeal, and they're a big reason why it won the Tony Award for Best Costume Design. The outfits are a perfect blend of glam, glitz, and camp, just like Cher herself. And, trust us, you'll be green with envy over some of the stunning looks.

One of the funniest parts of the show is the way it pokes fun at Cher's public persona. The actress who plays Cher is actually three different women, each representing a different stage of her life. It's a clever idea, and it adds a lot of humor to the show.
But what really sets The Cher Show apart is its heart. Beneath all the glam and glitz, it's a story about a strong, independent woman who's never been afraid to be herself. And, let's be real, who doesn't love a good underdog story?
