Popular music has changed over the decades, but one truth remains constant – you just can’t beat a good blues man who can rock the guitar.

Saturday, March 29, 8 p.m.

Cher recently kicked-off her big “Dressed to Kill” tour in Phoenix, Ariz., and if the reviews of her splashy, sold-out performance are anything to go by, Tulsa has a big night to look forward to. The grand diva of pop music, film and entertainment performs at the BOK Center, 200 S. Denver Ave., Tulsa, at 8 p.m. Saturday, March 29, in a stunning array of costumes that highlight memorable moments throughout her epic music career. Along with all her biggest hit songs, Cher sings music from her new album, Closer to the Truth. Although she’s has already done the “farewell tour,” “Dressed to Kill,” with its retrospective on the evolution of Cher, may be that spectacularly feathered cap that marks the end of an era – or perhaps a new phase in her stunning career. Tickets are $25.50-$105.50, available at www.bokcenter.com.
