Cher — Pop music grandmother Cher announced this week that she plans to turn her career and music into an autobiographical Broadway show which will follow her career from a solo artist in the seventies to her work with partner Sonny Bono and her present day incarnation. So next time you’re in NYC, you can pay $178 dollars for a Cher show on Broadway, or you could just go down to Chelsea and pay a five dollar cover charge to find 5,000 drag queens who are more convincing and know her schtick and music better than she could ever remember it. Your call. Just trying to save you some money.

Times’ fascinating look into the strategy behind it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to return this copy of The Revengers, starring Robin Downing Jr. as Argon Man.
