I saw Cyndi Lauper at Madison Square Garden in New York and this year and into 2025 you can see her at various US locations, the UK, a number of European cities, Australia, and Japan. The Girls Just Wanna Have Fun tour has been billed as her last major tour. She says she's not retiring, but at age 71, she wants to do an arena tour while she's strong, and she doesn't know what the future may hold.

"Here I am / Just as I said I would be / I'm your friend / Just like you think it should be," she sang, and the audience sang along with her. It was a friendly, happy crowd, and she looked, and sounded, amazing. She has a four-octave range--and her voice, these many years after her 80s hits, is still strong and full.

We loved her wigs, we loved her costume changes, and we loved the set design, with a nod to Kayoi Kusama's dots. We encountered rainbows and other true colors, a joyous festivity throughout, and a serious reminder as well that girls just want fun-damental human rights.

Catch her while you can!
