Three actors could play Cher after the singer revealed that an inventive musical based on her life was being developed for the stage.

Earlier this week, the 66-year-old singer took to Twitter to reveal that she was working with producers to write a musical that uses her songs to tell her life story. While the planned timescale remains unclear, the singer said that the production is being developed with Broadway in mind.

"Prod r trying to write musical of my life at the moment! Its very interesting idea," Cher wrote on her Twitter feed.

She added: "Its VERY SLOW PROCESS! Been working on it quite a while now [sic]."

Currently, the musical focuses on three stages of the singer's life, with a different actor playing her in each part. One actor will portray her before she met Sonny Bono; another after the couple separated through to her Believe tour in 1999, and a third will play the singer in the present day. "They all 3 talk 2 each other &Sing 2gether," Cher tweeted.

The singer also stressed her own involvement: "I'm help. 2 write cause I was there and know stories that no1 knows but me."

However, her fans shouldn't get too excited too early, as her representatives told Access Hollywood that any "Broadway show is a long way off".
