Cher is making a musical of her life.

The 66-year-old singer revealed the production will be staged in New York's Broadway and feature three versions of herself at different stages of her career.

One actress will portray the singer before she met Sonny Bono; another after the pair split in 1975, leading up to and through her 'Believe' tour in 1999 and a third will play a 'wise' present-day version.

Cher tweeted: 'Prod r trying 2 write musical now about my life with my music. Its very Interesting idea. There r 3 Chers! 1 b4 i met Son thru S&C yrs. 1 after i left thru Believe tour & 1 Now (sic).

'I could b old Cher! Shes wise n tells 2 young 1's not 2 fear future (sic)'

The three Chers will interact and perform with one another in the show.

The 'If I Could Turn Back Time' singer added: 'They all 3 talk 2 each other &Sing 2gether! Its musical w/ my music (sic)'

Cher is planning to be involved in the script so she can unveil some secrets about her life.

She tweeted: 'i was there & know stories that no1 knows but me ! I hope it happens!

'[It will be on] Broadway! Its VERY SLOW PROCESS! been working on it quite a while now (sic)'

In 2010, film director Andy Fickman revealed he was exploring the possibility of making a Cher musical.

He said: 'We'll be making announcements about that project coming together shortly. She's a fairly phenomenal character, Cher - as a human being I think she's one of the great icons of all time, a force to be reckoned with.'
