Consol Energy Center became Cher Palace Wednesday night, when she made a triumphant return to Pittsburgh after a decade with his Dressed to Kill Tour.
The show was a spectacle for all ages as superstar made his first of many great entries dressed as an Egyptian queen with a jeweled headdress that spanned four meters in diameter. A harem pantsuit pure crystals cleverly covered his body and glistened as he moved to perform the opening number, "The world of women.”
Taut dancers dressed in soldiers' uniforms , danced, fought and fell on the stage as they began their night of action that reached the heights and the acrobatics of a Cirque du Soleil , while most of the best games that brought us Egypt , a burlesque theater, a show and a party gypsy hip- hop techno.
Everyone expects to see the show, and there was no shortage of it. Walking through six decades of hits with a career of Oscar winning film sandwiched not take some time, grace and thought. Presentations record videos at 10 -
plus stunning costume changes where Cher transforms herself from a pop star of the 60s in a layer of red sequined mini-dress and feather the ruler of the underworld with a long curly wig and helmet angel black Queen of love as a blonde in a dress burning flesh-colored glass - with a heart full accounts with strategically placed in the right chest.
You can still buy tickets to see Cher tour here dressed to kill.

Other costumes included an Indian chief featuring a helmet to toe pastel pen , the queen of "Burlesque " (from the movie ) and the costume of the night - a reincarnation of the biker look "If I Could Turn Back Time video. " It was reworked - covering most of his back as the original was the equivalent of an average black with strategically placed strips of fabric - to great effect. Cher wearing their costumes tells a story (not vice versa, as other pop stars) and no matter how complicated or pure, never are tasteless and leave you never shrunk.
It's hard to believe she is 67, and she apologized for her recent foot surgery that hampered his usual “jumping and dancing.” Vocally , she was in good shape , hit every note of his two-hour show covering perennial favorites " Gypsies , Tramps and Thieves " and " Half -Breed " with new material, including " Take it like a man " from his new release. Other notables include "Walking in Memphis " presented with a video montage of his childhood and a history of seeing Elvis live , " Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down ) " and "We have not seen the last of me," which brought the audience together with arms raised singing the anthem.
Great sense of humor and comic timing Cher has been evident throughout his career and has no problem being the butt of a joke. The video montage of clips from "The Sonny and Cher Show" had the audience laughing happy with their iconic comedy routines routinely showed crumbling. Combines with duet video Live / her and Sonny singing “I Got You Babe”.
The big news of the night could well be his comment that "This is my farewell, farewell tour. Not want you to celebrate here with a stick," stating that prefer to go to the top.
The encore featured “believe”, followed by “I Hope You Find It" with Cher in a resplendent throne slowly flying from the center stage during the hearing to the back of the arena where the fans had a close up view of golden goddess.
Opener of the show was a celebration of pure , hard rock - driving like Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo took the stage with nothing more than a backdrop , a bassist and a drummer , and immediately tries to fill a solid hour of first category rock ' n' roll to the delight of all. Chaining hit after hit, they hit the road to celebrate 35 years of musical collaboration (32 married) and have never sounded better.
Mr. Giraldo played a semi - hollow body electric for most of the set of an hour and a half regretted distortion Consol filled with old school rock sturdy while Benatar powerful voices soared above all, without missing a beat. It was a great set-up for the main event and linked together was an unforgettable night and, yes, a “woman’s world.”
