Influences

Naturally, I'm influenced by legendary Diva, Cher, as well as the other celebrities I impersonate. I have been blessed with a "rubber" voice and a quick wit and have been compared to Tracey Ullman and described as a "Theatrical Chameleon" in reviews. One reviewer commented that "The only difference between Helene (as Cher) and the real Cher is a break. She's every bit as talented!"

What to Expect

Typical Gig Duration: 20 - 180 minutes

"THE (almost) CHER SHOW" can be as long or short as you like, with up to 25 of Cher's most popular songs (sung LIVE), and up to eight complete, fabulous costume and wig changes, and always includes snappy, "Cher-like"comedy and audience involvement. Cher's longevity and Superstar/Diva status make her very appropriate and fun for all ages and groups. Almost "Cher" will pay particular interest to any guest(s) of honor, by either including them or their spouses, best friends, siblings, parents, offspring, etc. - in the show, and customizing humor with information obtained in advance. It's (almost) like having the real Cher in concert - except much more convenient and affordable.

"THE (almost) CHER SHOW" includes:
Preeminent Cher impersonator, Helene A. Masiko-Crews, going through the decades songs, wild wigs and outrageous, authentic costumes (including custom-made replicas of some of Cher’s best known Bob Mackie designs), audience involvement, custom comedy, LIVE vocals, and lots of fun!
