LA CROSSE, Wis. – Dance and sing along as an award-winning singer and actress brings the Goddess of Pop to life in The Beat Goes On Featuring Lisa McClowry as Cher at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 1 in the Viterbo University Fine Arts Center Main Theatre.
McClowry, who was named Tribute Artist of the Year from Josie Music Awards in 2023, is uncanny as Cher, nailing her singing and speaking voice, walk, talk, costumes, makeup, and mannerisms. The show also incorporates a live band, LED walls, video, multiple costume changes, dynamic dialogue, humor, and fun audience participation. Audience members will hear Cher’s hits from the 1960s to the present, including, I Got You Babe, If I Could Turn Back Time, songs from ABBA (from Cher’s Dancing Queen album), Woman’s World, Welcome to Burlesque, Believe and many more.
A life-long singer and entertainer with more than 30 years in the entertainment industry, McClowry was cast in Legendary Divas at the Tropicana on the Las Vegas Strip performing as Cher six nights a week in an all-female lineup in 2022. McClowry’s original music can be heard on the radio including her single, I Will Love You Forever, co-written and recorded with Carl Giammarese of The Buckinghams.
“Thank you, Cher, for your outstanding career and for empowering woman to take chances, let go, and say exactly what is on their minds,” McClowry said. “You lead by example. As a female producer, singer, and actress in the business and for The Beat Goes On, playing Cher has brought my inner strength out to the surface.”
