How Long Is Cher Here We Go Again Concert

There's no need to plow dorsum time — Cher is forever.

The pop diva is arguably as pop today as she ever was, and her electric current global Here We Become Again Tour is a glorious commemoration of that fact.

Over only near 90 minutes at Brooklyn's Barclays Center Thursday dark, Cher stunned the loonshit with hits that stretched from those dating dorsum more than than half a century to songs released in the last few months.

How's this for crawly longevity? Early in the evening when Cher — decked out in directly-pilus-and-bangs with fuzzy belong and bong-bottoms regalia — delivered a pair of her star-making Sonny and Cher gems, 1967's "The Crush Goes On" and 1965'due south "I Got You Babe," as virtual duets with video footage of her belatedly foil, partner and former husband Sonny Bono.

And then, in a attestation to the epic scope of her career, the star and her troupe of backup dancers stopped off at the championship song to her 2010 flick "Burlesque" before a joyous mini-ready of Abba covers which climaxed with the grandiose theatrics of "Fernando."

Cher's latest LP, the 2018 Abba covers collection "Dancing Queen," capitalized on her fan-favorite advent in last year'due south hit movie musical sequel "Mamma Mia: Here We Become Once more."

The anthology arrived in October with the twelvemonth'due south biggest sales week for a pop album by a woman, according to Billboard. Its debut at No. 3 on the Billboard Tiptop 200 album chart as well tied for Cher'due south highest-charting solo album ever.

According to a December tweet, Cher is working on her memoirs, with the outset book expected in 2020 and a biopic to follow. Just this calendar week the biographical musical "The Cher Bear witness" on Broadway received a trifecta of Tony nominations, including one for Bob Mackie'due south costume designs.

And the Here Nosotros Go Over again Tour, complete with nine different costumes reflecting the unlike periods of her career explored in the prove, is a sort of living biography mixed with a Las Vegas stage spectacular.

The prove fabricated use of video montages during the costume changes, and these interludes served to raise the experience and contextualize the numbers.

A video parcel of Cher's acclaimed film career drew wild cheers before the powerful performance of the Oscar-nominated "Chances Are" (1989) theme "After All," while a tribute to Cher'south childhood idolization of Elvis Presley preceded her heartfelt cover of Marc Cohn's King tribute "Walking in Memphis."

Cher's iconic voice still shakes rafters with ataraxy. It was particularly remarkable to hear how her iconoclastic, booming voice tin can elevate hits as well-worn every bit Abba's "SOS." She's been making songs her own for decades now, such every bit the Rudy Clark-penned popular classic "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)," from her 1990 film "Mermaids,'' also on her fix list. They become Cher songs start and foremost by the power of her phonation and consummate and utter Cher-ness.

It's all so grandiose and its epic telescopic needs to be seen to exist believed. Cher has earned herself generations of fans at this point, and for any attendee the highlight is probable to be the appearance of "their" version of Cher.

For this writer, the climactic emergence of tardily-'80s "rocker Cher" with period-accurate long, blackness curls and leather jacket for the hard-hitting "I Found Someone" and "If I Could Plough Back Time" was singularly powerful. In that moment fourth dimension and space seemed to disappear, there was nothing but Cher in the eternal at present.

Cher mixed this polished pop mastery with a disarming charm, particularly in her audience banter. I lengthy, early chat with the audition touched on working the dinner theater circuit with Bono, a difficult phone call from her "Witches of Eastwick" director George Miller and her complicated human relationship with David Letterman.

The tale concluded with Cher telling the audience her age (she's 72, although she said 73 a few weeks early on) and asking 1 question before heading backstage for her commencement costume change: "What is your granny doing tonight?"

She returns to our area for a Dec. iii engagement at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, followed past an encore show at Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center on Dec. 6, following a recent sell-out.
