Cher in Las Vegas
 
Can anyone advise best place to sit for the show?

In addition many descent tickets are only available through "ticket brokers" at premium prices, if I have a specific date in mind that is over a month away is it best to wait to buy the tickets as hopefully the prices will be reduced?

Thanks in advance for your advise.

It is a great showroom and just about any seats would be good. However, front orchestra seats would be best. I saw the show in May and was about 15 rows back and a little right of center and the view was great.

I doubt if prices will go down as the dates get closer. Cher has broken records at Caesar's for ticket demand. Either pay up or you could wait until the day of the show and hang around the ticket sales area to see if there are any last minute cancellations. Other than that, if you don't want to pay exorbitant prices, I think you would enjoy the show, even in the "cheap" seats.

Prices will not go down for this show. Only way is to know someone wanting / needing to sell.

When I saw her show at an arena in Seattle, I left early. The best seat was the one I sat in on the way home. I thought her show was a big, noisy mess.

Add to this that admission prices for shows in Las Vegas have gotten out of control. While I was in Las Vegas this past March, I was offered seats in the last row and behind a pillar for Elton John at $110 each.

No thanks.

I saw this show a few weeks ago... I was disappointed as Cher spent literally half of the show changing costumes. The show runs about 90 minutes... she was probably on the stage for about 45-50 minutes. Although the various costumes are "interesting", I would have preferred to hear her sing more.

The show is freakin amazing. I was there in May and got my tickets via Ticketmaster.

Yes, I wish Cher did sing more. There were breaks after each song as she changed.

But she is amazing. I loved every second of the show.

Not in the theatre for me....that woudl be the best seat.

beth_fitz - seems a lot of people would disagree since her shows are all selling out.

I would go if Sonny somehow appeared.

tom42 Jun 25th, 2008 08:21 AM

He does. At least on screen.

GeorgeW Jun 25th, 2008 09:14 AM

No, I want a real, live Sonny so that Jean-Claude Killy can give him proper skiing lessons.

Cher can bring herself back from the dead, but I don't think even she can bring back Sonny.

GeorgeW Jun 25th, 2008 01:23 PM

You mean plastic surgery can bring the dead back to life?

WE saw the show on May 21, a day after her 62 birthday. I have followed Cher's career since the 70s when I was a teenager. Her show is a retrospective of her entire career with lots of videos from the Sonny and Cher show and her films. I really enjoyed it. The best part was when she bantered with the people, however, this aspect was extremely limited in the show I saw. She has about 17 costume changes in a 90 min show. The costumes are works of art. All are new and designed by Bob Mackie who has been dressing her for over 40 years. Some of the costumes are so elaborate and huge with headdresses etc. that Cher can't move to much in them. So she is pretty static for most of the show. Her mouth moves and she walks. She has a group of fine dancers and 5 aerialists -- acrobats who hang from ropes and do twists. It is a fun enjoyable show if you have followed Cher for 40 years as I have. But she was very static -- didn't move much. Don't know if this was because of the limitations of her costumes or what.

well, plastic surgery and a world wide number one song.
