A night of Cher magic heads to Eastbourne

Rachael Hawnt, the winner of ITV’s Starstruck, is leading a brand-new theatre show celebrating the incredible music of Cher.

The international extravaganza is coming to The Congress Theatre on Friday, March 13.

Showcasing every decade of Cher’s remarkable career, fans will experience everything from disco to pop-rock in this musical celebration.

Rachael Hawnt is a powerhouse vocalist who has been performing as Cher internationally since winning the hit show in 2022. Rachael’s spot-on impersonation and dynamic stage presence promise a show-stopping experience.

Previously, critics have raved about her talent, with Simon Cowell describing her as “world class”, Adam Lambert noting the likeness is “uncanny, and that he felt like he was in Vegas watching the real Cher” and Sheridan Smith saying she is “more Cher than Cher”.
