London: Pop superstar Cher is in talks with producers to take her life story to the Broadway stage.
The 66-year-old `Believe` hitmaker has agreed to assist writers with the production, which will chronicle the memorable eras of her career when it launches in a New York theatre, reported Contactmusic.
In a series of posts on her Twitter page, Cher wrote, "Producers are writing musical now about my life with my music. There are 3 Chers! I`m helping to write because I was there & know stories that no one knows but me! I hope it happens," she posted.
"Its musical with my music. Broadway! Its Very Slow Process! been working on it quite a while now (sic)," she added.
The singer also said that she would consider a role in the stage show.
"I could be old Cher! She`s wise and tells two young one`s not to fear future," Cher said.

i think this is a FABULOUS idea! if they can do "rock of ages", why not "cher of ages"? it's almost as good an idea as the dream i've been nurturing for years now, that someone will have the genius to do a remake of "whatever happened to baby jane?" starring cher as blanche and madonna as jane...picture it: 21st century LA, blanche as a crippled one time rock star, jane a washed up disco star...cher and madonna chewing up each other, the scenery and props and eventually the theater screen! i live for the day!
unfortunately, my OTHER dream movie, a re-telling of "whatever happened to baby jane?" as a vehicle for janet and michael jackson can never be made now...but, just picture it....janet as the blanche character, michael as a male jane character! it would have been oscar material!!!
CHER PLANS BROADWAY MUSICAL ABOUT HER LIFE
well, ilikemeninjocks, they could do a broadway musical based on the life of an over the hill stripper. oh wait....they did that with "gypsy", didn't they. gypsy rose lee was behind that one, won all kinds of awards. okay, how about a washed up vaudevillian? oops, did that one with "funny girl"! fanny brice and her son-in-law ray stark masterminded it, using all of those old songs. i guess it could get worse, after all-what if this one turns out to be as popular and wins as many awards as those two turkeys?
OMG: Could it GET ANY WORSE?
