Hey Guys,
Jan asked me to copy and paste her review of the show. Here it is!

Well did I think of a prior Cher tour during this tour when Cher used to say "Should I do this..Should I do this..the HE - - with it JUST DO IT..U can always look back and & say I shouldn't have done that! LOL"...this fell in personal sync with me this time around..I shot up to Vegas against the will of 3 orthopedic surgeons and my internist due to a tear in my knee:( .. I just could not miss Lady Cher's opener..my idol of over 40 yrs..just no way no how..something the o'l MD's will just never get!..They were like U must be a huge fan..I was like I am ..and well there at the airport I was..in pain but I did it and so glad I did..paying for it now yes but couldn't imagine missing it..I apologize for no sooner review I know ppl were calling me ..emailing me etc and I apologize just been rough due to a medical disaster..sorry sorry..Anyways..so happy I see my buddy Vinny did a spectacular review..I definitely couldn't have said it better myself..Was great seeing u again buddy (Cher for President! WOO HOO)..was so happy to be in a row of DIEhard Cher fans that opener nite.. AS u know many high rollers who don't really follow Cher get many of the closer rows..so when I saw all my fellow DIEhards there in our row I was sooooooooooooo glad! Ahhh fans..YES! .. I must say or should I say add..this tour for me was just incredible..having been a longtime 'fossil fan' of Cher/Sonny & Cher since 1969 (OK I Know I know I am old! LOL)..I have personally followed Cher thru out the decades of tours/shows..I saw her and Sonny Bono back in the day in the 70s at NY's Westbury Music Fair in Long Island NY ..her o'l H Breed outfit and all..to all her shows thru the yrs..her solo Atlantic City days/Take Me home Era..her Broadway era..Many of her NY promo/talk show(s) appearances/promos..to her Heart of Stone tour to her L Hurts tour..to her Believe tour to her amazing Farewell tour..city to city..state to state..This present tour by far was definitely amongst one of MY personal favs hands down!!!!! I especially enjoyed a lot of the added new S & C additions..I mean "It's the Little Things".."Sunny"..gosh I love this stuff..gave me chills..I also wanna say if u guys have say row 10-16 or whatever..don't fret..this theatre is NOT MSG and other big type arenas..the way the stage is set up those seats ARE close..we had a terrific view both May 6 and May 7th.. I am only 5 ft 2 (w/ a torn knee yet)and I saw great..U guys will see how intimidate the theatre is seat wise..The theatre itself is gorgeous..I agree w/Vinny almost planetarium/ish when u first walk in...lol..the whole opener was indeed kinda star wars-y effect...but the way it just lead into blips and pieces of Cher/S & C montages/clips OMG was just magnificient..the entire lighting and special effects like were just incredible the way they did it..best to date I've seen..WOW..And Cher's entrance just spectacular:) ..She looked and sounded great..Some said nite 2 she was off around me..I dunno to me both nites she was perfection she really was..She definitely looks like her 30s and not in her 60s..she's just so down to earth..so adorable..so talented..that voice..Loved her..her monologue rocked too..Loved the way she mocked men grabbing themselves and the way they spit! LOL..she's just way cool:) LOL..Some cute highlights so I don't repeat many of the other reviews..definitely for me and my longtime fellow fan and friend Sheri was definitely the whole 60s segment cos we grew up first w/that Cher from Sonny and Cher..she wore that adorable red mini dress and boots..we were just in the aisle singing along w/her and waving..at one point Cher came to our side of stage and definitely saw us..we were so excited and waving..she smiled.. ..She probably was like u old bags remember this stuff! LOL..but seriously..was worth the entire trip w/the knee! LOL..we both had goosebumps:) Made our nite..was ultimate exciting:) ..All the movie/tv/stgae footage was definitely changed up..Loved that they did that..the clips they showed just "brought me right back to childhood" and sure it did for a lot of fans that nite..especially loved them re showing that whole "Bloopers" clip! LOL..I could watch that over and over..Rocked hearing Love is a Battlefield..have not heard it live since L Hurts tour..Loved every min. of it..And rocked just prior to T Me Home her intro-ing it w/Telma Houston's old hit..Don't Leave me this way and then how she just swooped into T Me Home..ROCKED the house..the special effects OMG ROCKED! Amazing technology!!!!!!! When she came out almost in a snow globe-y kinda thing during L Hurts everyone was like WOW!..nite 2 she didn't do L Hurts..just nite one..She still kept W of Love nite 2...I know she wasn't feeling as well nite 2 but to us she just sounded really incredible...she truly did..Even when she comes out during W I Memphis in the o'l jeans and blonde wig...simply adorable Lady Cher..just so cool..so charming.. ..The Entire aerialists..back up band/singers etc..PERFECTION as usual..hope they're reading this..just a GREAT job!!!!!!! WOW...The Laverne part and whole YMCA part was great too..Was great seeing one of our favorite ppl Chad Michaels..u LOOKED Great Chad..too bad we were not allowed cameras..Chad looked amazing!!!!!..WOW!...Rocked seeing many of the convention ppl and hanging out w/u guys both nites:) ..The CHER store ppl..OH MY GOD..not easy for a diehard to walk in and honestly not spend at least $500..or charge should I say..u kinda want everything.. LOL..great great stuff..Also to those that never got the Chrome Hearts magaz way back (w/Deadsy cd and poster)..Chrome Hearts on 2nd floor at hotel has em..and only $35..and all Cher store items also available thru the store direct..incl the cool lithograph posters and other items..they ship it fed ex..base prices so u don't have to go haywire on ebay guys..Rocked u can still throw Sailor hats:)..didn't see anyone give her flowers..I don't think that was allowed but not sure 100%..they did open the front part at finale for fans to dance by stage which was cool.. ..Sheri and I did stop at Planet Hollywood at 4 but didn't see fans..we later saw Rohn and others later though who got delayed earlier..never found Bill ? ... I know I am definitely leaving out stuff..sorry it's the painpills my mean orthopedist has me on...but just wanted to add some to the bunch. DON'T MISS THE SHOW IS ALL I CAN SAY..it's Cher's BEST yet..We love u Cher..Happy Mother's day..Happy Birthday and congrats on a wonderful show..See u all in Aug at the shows and the Cher convention:) Jan )
