In the organizer's words:

The tribute show highlight about the icon of artistic self-realization - on tour!

Born Cherilyn Sarkisian on May 20, 1946 in California, she is one of the most famous, versatile and influential artists in the history of pop music: Cher! Her career spans six decades and includes music, film, television and fashion. With her unmistakable voice, charismatic stage presence and ever-changing persona, she has established herself as one of the entertainment industry's most enduring personalities. The brand new live show "BELIEVE - The Tribute To The Life And Music Of Cher" brings the life and work of the icon back to the stage in her inimitable style as a tribute show - with lots of hits, an LED show and a dance ensemble. A show like Cher herself - full of power, presence, elegance and extravagance as well as a very special, soul-penetrating timbre.
"BELIEVE - The Tribute To The Life And Music Of Cher" is a show that not only pays tribute to the icon, but also brings her back to the stage for one evening in all her diversity, extravagance and uniqueness. Almost fifty songs, performed by various female and male singers, lead us through the eventful decades of her epoch-making work with short but vivid explanations and anecdotes.

The beginnings: Sonny & Cher
Cher began her music career in the early 1960s. She met the musician and producer Sonny Bono, who became her mentor, partner and later her husband. Together they formed the duo 'Sonny & Cher' and had their first big hit in 1965 with "I Got You Babe". The song became one of the most famous songs of the era and catapulted the couple to international fame. Several successful albums followed. Their musical blend of folk, pop and rock, coupled with a humorous stage presence, made them crowd favorites, especially live. In the 1970s, the couple hosted the popular television show "The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour".

Solo career and musical successes
Although Cher had already released solo songs in the 1960s, such as "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)", her true solo career only began after her separation from Sonny in 1975. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, she enjoyed success with songs such as "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves", "Half-Breed" and "Dark Lady". These songs often told stories of outsiders and showed Cher's ability to interpret emotional and powerful songs.
In the 1980s, she turned to rock and collaborated with famous musicians such as Bon Jovi and Michael Bolton. Her album 'Cher' (1987) contained hits such as "I Found Someone" and "We All Sleep Alone", which underlined her new, rocking style. Her greatest triumph came in 1989 with the album 'Heart of Stone', which contained the mega-hit "If I Could Turn Back Time". The accompanying music video, in which she performed on a US Navy battleship, caused a sensation and cemented her reputation as an extravagant artist.

The 1990s: Comeback with "Believe"
After a phase of less musical activity, Cher celebrated a brilliant comeback in 1998 with "Believe", one of the first big auto-tune hits. The song became a number 1 hit worldwide and made her the oldest female singer ever to top the US charts. The album of the same name - with further hits such as "Strong enough" and "All or Nothing" - was a huge success and showed Cher as a pioneer of electronic pop music.

Film career and further successes
In addition to music, Cher built up an impressive acting career. She made her debut in the 1960s, but her true recognition as an actress came in the 1980s. She received an Oscar nomination for her role in "Silkwood" (1983) and finally won the Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role in "Moonstruck" (1987). Other successful films included "The Mask" (1985), "The Witches of Eastwick" (1987) and "Mermaids Kiss Better" (1990). In 2010, she shone in the film drama "Burlesque" alongside Christina Aguilera. In 2013, she released the album "Closer to the Truth", with the dance hit "Woman's World". In 2018, she returned to the movies in "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" she returned to the big screen. In the same year, she released the album "Dancing Queen", which consisted of ABBA cover versions.
Cher is not only a music and film icon, but also a committed activist. She campaigns for LGBTQ+ rights, environmental issues and humanitarian causes. Her influence on pop culture remains unbroken and she is celebrated worldwide as one of the most inspiring personalities in music history. She has reinvented herself time and time again, setting trends and proving that age is no barrier to success. Her music, her style and her attitude make her a unique figure in the world of entertainment.
"BELIEVE - The Tribute To The Life And Music Of Cher" - A show not only for fans, but for everyone who wants to celebrate the extroverted, tireless self-realization of a very special woman.
