A new musical following the life of music icon Cher is in the works, according to a casting notice for a January 2-14, 2017, staged reading. The show will be directed by Jason Moore (Avenue Q), have a book by Rick Elice (Peter and the Starcatcher), and will use songs from Cher's illustrious canon of music.

Flody Suarez and Jeffrey Seller will produce. No timeline for an actual production has been set.
