The Cher Show, which opened at the Neil Simon Theatre on Broadway in December 2018, is a jukebox musical that tells the true story of the pop star’s life and career. Three actresses play Cher in different stages of her life: Micaela Diamond as Babe, Teal Wicks as Lady and Block as Star.
During her acceptance speech at Sunday’s ceremony, Block, 46, honored her 4-year-old daughter, Vivienne, whom she shares with husband Sebastian Arcelus. “Vivi, Mommy won a trophy but like I always tell you, little girl, it’s not about winning; it’s about showing up, doing your best, loving all people and finding joy along the way,” she said.
The first-time Tony winner, who was previously nominated for her roles in The Mystery of Edwin Drood and Falsettos, later tweeted, “To my @TheCherShow family… I truly love you guys. @TealWicks @micaeladiamond_ , we are ONE! I lost my place (and a bit of my mind) up there tonight when giving my speech, but please know my heart is yours and I am so grateful for/ to you guys. Thank you.”
