To the world, Cher is a multifaceted actress, singer and icon whose influence on popular culture is without parallel. To movie, television and theater director Jason Moore, she’s also a real-life superhero. “As queer people, we look at divas because their individuality, fearlessness and confidence represent acceptance and belief in ourselves,” Moore told HuffPost. Her authenticity to herself is her salvation.”Given Moore’s admiration for Cher, it’s no wonder he had “a blast” bringing “The Cher Show,” now playing at New York’s Neil Simon Theatre, to Broadway. Plus, I realized how many songs and reinventions she’s had, and it just seemed like a great story to put onstage.
