Cher in Concert, also known as the Take Me Home Tour,^[1] was the first solo concert tour by American singer-actress Cher. The tour's debut was at Sahara Reno in Reno, Nevada with a huge production and cast put together by Joe Layton, who did the same for Bette Midler's "Clams on a Half Shell" and Diana Ross previously. Cher premiered her one-woman show at the Opera House Theatre June 3 through 19. This is the first time Cher has appeared solo on the nightclub circuit.

The show then became Cher's first world tour as a solo artist. The tour reached North America, Europe, South Africa and Australia. The concert was filmed in Monte Carlo on May 10, 1980 and broadcast on HBO the following February and later taped in Las Vegas in 1981 at Caesars Palace for a broadcast on Showtime on April 21, 1983.

Background

The show featured three backing singers, six dancers, three drag queens as Bette Midler, Cher, and Diana Ross, a mechanical bull and twelve costume changes.

Cher described the show as "a bit Sonny & Cher-ish" a mixture of cabaret, disco and rock'n'roll.^[2] With twelve changes of clothes, Cher wore no costume for more than eight minutes.

The concerts were based in part on her solo television shows The Cher Show, Cher... Special and Cher... and others Fantasies. During Cher's costume changes, drag performers Kenny Sacha, as Bette Midler and J.C. Gaynor as Diana Ross performed "In the Mood" and "I'm Coming Out" respectively. Cher joined them to end the show with a performance of "Friends". Russell Elliott opened the show as Cher.
