Cher Spills New Details On Her Vegas Come Back

Two-and-a-half years after the final show of her three-year "Farewell" concert tour, Cher announced last week that she has signed on for a three-year, 200-show engagement at Caesars Palace.

Cher stated on the Associated Press Television that: "Well, first of all, there was going to be a big time between ending the show, ending the tour, and going to Vegas," she said. "I wouldn't have to move. I wouldn't have to travel. I could just stay there. Because that's what I really can't do anymore, is I can't go on the road. It's just too much. It's just too impossibly hard. And I started there, and I thought that it might be fun.

In true Celine Dion fashion, "Cher at the Colosseum," set to debut May 6, will include 18 dancers, aerialists, and new costumes designed by Cher's longtime designer Bob Mackie. Choreography will be directed by Doriana Sanchez, a veteran of the "Believe" and "Farewell" tours.

Along with the Vegas shows, Cher will be releasing an all-new studio album, her first since 2001's "Living Proof." And she said she's still considering a longtime offer to do a TV musical of "Mame."
