Concert synopsis
A giant curtain is set up where, during the start of the concert, a video montage featuring many moments of Cher's career is projected onto it. After the intro ends and the curtain drops, Cher appears wearing a purple toga and a blue wig, while standing on a bedazzled arched lift performing "Woman's World". The song is followed by "Strong Enough" and a 15-minute{{cite web|url= https://www.charlotteobserver.com/entertainment/music-news-reviews/article225092220.html |title= Concert review: Did Cher's Charlotte show leave enough time for Cher to do Cher?|last=Janes|first=Théoden|date=January 30, 2019|publisher=The Charlotte observer|access-date=March 25, 2019}} on stage monologue where she infamously asks the crowd "what's your granny doing tonight?"{{cite web|url= https://www.newsobserver.com/entertainment/article225071555.html |title= Review: If you're Cher, normal rules of time and space do not apply.

She returns on a mechanical elephant lip syncing the last part, and then she gets off the elephant and she performs "All or Nothing".{{cite web|url= https://www.communitynews.com.au/western-suburbs-weekly/news/cher-turns-back-time-to-entertain-packed-house-at-rac-arena/|title= REVIEW: Cher turns back time to entertain packed house at RAC Arena|last=Cipriano|first=Belinda|date= October 12, 2018|publisher=Western Suburbs Weekly|access-date=March 25, 2019}} The next act is started with a video interlude of Cher and her late ex-husband, Sonny Bono, singing a medley of "Little Man" and "All I Ever Need is You". She starts performing "The Beat Goes On" followed by a brief speech where Cher talks about how she rarely performs the song "I Got You Babe" live with Bono joining her via a large-screen video monitor.{{cite web|url=https://i.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/music/gig-reviews/107287155/sequin-leotardwearing-cher-definitely-not-your-grandma |title= Sequin leotard-wearing Cher, definitely not your Grandma|last=Corcoran|first=Sineadl|date=September 22, 2018|publisher=Stuff|access-date=March 25, 2019}}
A video interlude of Cher performing "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" follows and the next act starts with her dancers performing a Burlesque-inspired dance routine. Finally, Cher enters the stage in a Burlesque inspired outfit and sings "Welcome to Burlesque", followed by a costume change, with "Lie to Me" acrobatic interlude. She and her dancers reappear in 70's inspired clothes as she sings her covers of ABBA's "Waterloo" and "SOS". Cher then goes to an elevated platform and sings "Fernando", accompanied by a backdrop of fireworks.{{cite web|url=https://eu.naplesnews.com/story/entertainment/music/2019/01/18/cher-gives-high-color-high-hit-show-hertz-arena-estero/2507381002/ |title=Cher delivers high-color show at Hertz Arena, making her audience easily 'Believe'|last=Heithaus|first=Harriet Howard|date=January 18, 2019|publisher=Naples Daily News|access-date=March 25, 2019}}
After a video montage of her career highlights as an actress, the next act sees Cher performing "After All". An interlude of "Heartbreak Hotel" plays as Cher changes costumes and sings "Walking In Memphis", which she dedicated to the first time she saw Elvis in concert. "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)" ends the act, and a guitar solo of "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" plays as a final intermission. Cher, in a black see-through bodysuit, appears to close the main set with performances of "I Found Someone" and "If I Could Turn Back Time". She leaves, and after a minute, returns to close the show with an encore performance of "Believe".
