The Cher Show, the musical based on the life of the global superstar, tells the story of Cher from the perspective of three versions of herself, Babe, Lady, and Star. While Cher is going through the ups and downs of her life and career, each version of herself is there to give their perspective and advice.

I talked to Ella Perez, who plays Babe, the youngest version of Cher in the show, about how she connects to Babe, the movie that got her into performing, bonding with the other actresses who play Cher, and which singer she would love to play in a musical.

The Cher Show is playing at Detroit’s Fisher Theatre now until March 24th. You can buy tickets here.
