| I didn't think either one was very good, but I preferred the Cher show. I actually left Ain't Too Proud at intermission. I just couldn't sit through another jukebox musical where they narrate their story to the audience. And it seemed so low energy to me. I felt the same way about the Tony number. I can make it through many versions of "bad", but dull and boring is hard for me to stick around for. I do want to praise the cast for being extremely winning and talented. It's time to stop trying to replicate the success of Jersey Boys (which I LOVED) and come up with something new. I guess over at Cher everything was just a little bit more fun to me. I'm not sure why people don't talk more about the other two Chers. I thought Block was fine but liked the others just as much. The big problem to me with this one is that every time they would get to a moment where a song needed to comment on the story, they were stuck with some Cher song that simply couldn't do what was required. Because they are pop songs not meant to carry a story or develop character! LOVED seeing Emily Skinner on stage again. Honestly the first thing I did when I got home was listen to my Emily Skinner albums... |

| Yes, it's funny how all the attention is on Block. I actually preferred the young Cher, Micaela Diamond. I found her the most exciting thing on the stage. I see a big future for her. Overall, I did not care for the Cher show for the reasons you mention. |

| Both shows remind me of the "special" stuff PBS saves up for pledge week. | |

| I think it's helpful. I offered a third choice since the two choices first offered are like comparing tweedledee and tweedledum. | |
