LAS VEGAS and NATIONAL HARBOR,
Md., Oct. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Cher, the Oscar, Emmy, Grammy and Golden Globe
Award-winning Goddess of Pop, has partnered with AEG Live and MGM
Resorts International to debut CLASSIC CHER, a series of special
concerts exclusive to North
America beginning February
2017. Known for extravagant stage spectacles, breathtaking
costumes and dynamic performances, Cher will bring an all-new show
featuring her chart-topping classics to MGM Resorts' newest live
entertainment venues, Park Theater at Monte Carlo in Las Vegas and The Theater at MGM National
Harbor in Maryland.
"I plan to make this my best show ever," said Cher. "I am
extremely excited about both of these new theaters – they are
state-of-the-art and beautiful."
Launching her career in the 1960s as part of Sonny & Cher,
the iconic star made unprecedented strides in what had long been a
male-dominated industry. A worldwide superstar for more than six
decades, Cher has sold more than 100 million records and conquered
more challenges than a handful of other talents combined –
recording, concerts, film, Broadway acting, television and
directing. Cher's three-year 325-show world "Farewell Tour" from
2003 to 2005 played to more than three million fans and became the
most successful tour ever by any female artist. With CLASSIC CHER,
she will continue that tradition in a specially designed production
that can only be seen at Park Theater and The Theater at MGM
National Harbor.
Richard Sturm, President of
Entertainment, MGM Resorts International, said, "MGM Resorts is
thrilled to welcome Cher back to our entertainment family with
CLASSIC CHER. We have had a successful partnership with Cher and
her team for more than 20 years and look forward to continuing this
relationship at our two new venues. Cher is a true legend of the
industry and this new relationship with her further cements MGM
Resorts as the leader in live entertainment nationwide."
