It boasts a superficial skating of Cher’s life and career, relatively trite messages , and the feeling that despite the adversity woven in, it’s been made looking back through rose-colored lenses . The point is, I don’t think I learned a lot..
The costumes are undoubtedly a focal point of the show, not just because of the fact you can’t look away from them, but because they mark a mode of expression for Cher that dates back to her TV show with Bono, a time in which she was told to “just stand there and look pretty.” Also, it emphasizes a certain aspect of her personality because, as she says at one point to Tyler Pirrung’s fun take on Mackie when he comments that she’ll wear anything, “Anything is easy. I’m willing to wear nothing.
Lorenzo Pugliese’s Sonny Bono is immediately recognizable – diminutive, long-haired and bellbottomed – with a nasally inflection that is equally recognizable and gets an appreciative rise out of the audience. We’re told that it’s hard not to like Sonny, and that aspect Pugliese captures beautifully. We briefly spend time with two of Cher’s great loves, Gregg Allman and Rob Camilletti , both of which lend themselves to two great sequences.
