Cher Announces Final Shows at Caesars Palace

By PopEater / Wire Services Posted Sep 22nd 2010 06:21AM

Cher's final curtain on her headline show on the Las Vegas Strip is set for Feb. 5 after about 200 shows.

Officials at the Caesars Palace hotel-casino said Tuesday that tickets for Cher's final run of shows starting Jan. 11 will go on sale Saturday.

The last show ends a three-year residency for the iconic singer known for over-the-top costumes, elaborate showmanship and hits spanning several decades.

Cher's departure from the 4,300-seat Colosseum theater will come about one month before Celine Dion returns March 15 to start her second engagement.

Her first five-year run grossed more than $400 million.

"Cher at the Colosseum" features dancers choreographed by Doriana Sanchez and costumes designed by Cher's longtime designer, Bob Mackie.

The news comes just weeks after Cher made a huge splash presenting an award to Lady Gaga at the MTV Video Music awards and Prolific producer-director-writer Andy Fickman's confirmation that he's creating Cher, the musical.

Jeez, why all the negativity over Cher? What has she done to any of you? She was and still is a great perfomer and actress. If she is to old for you or just not your taste in style or music, don't listen to her or watch her. There is no reason to bash her. With all the other crap going on in the world, there are many other things to direct your anger and venom to than to someone who brings joy to many people.

Agreed. What you are observing is the direct result of the Simon Cowell'ing of America. American Idol has taught ignorant people that its okay, even "cute" to be rude and insulting to artists of all types. Think! There's so much wrong out there that might deserve your rage, but performing artists are not our problem right now.
