Cyndi Lauper

For the past 30 years, Cyndi Lauper has been dazzling—and surprising—her fans all over the world. A multi-talented artist and one of music’s most beloved icons, she has racked up global record sales of over 50 million albums and has won countless awards, including two Grammys, an Emmy, and a Tony, a distinction as a New York Times Best Selling author, as well as numerous honors for her tireless activism. Lauper is just one Academy Award (Oscar) away from the distinguished EGOT designation, an honor that only 13 other brilliant artists have ever achieved.
Cyndi, who won great acclaim with her 2006 stage debut as Jenny in The Threepenny Opera, wrote the Tony® Award winning original score (music and lyrics) for the smash hit Broadway adaptation of the British film Kinky Boots. The musical, which opened on The Great White Way last year, won 6 Tony® Awards – including Best Musical and Leading Actor in a Musical for Billy Porter – brings together a powerhouse team: Cyndi, legendary producers Daryl Roth and Hal Luftig, four-time Tony® Award-winner Harvey Fierstein (who wrote the book), and venerable director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell. This January, the Original Broadway Cast Recording also won the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, marking Lauper’s second Grammy win – 30 years after her first.
