About this listen
This past week has been a seismic one in the career and public profile of Cyndi Lauper. The big headline dominating both music and entertainment circles is that Cyndi Lauper is about to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, an honor set for November 8 and set to be televised as a prime-time special on ABC. According to MusicRadar and the Independent, the Hall of Fame class of 2025 is unusually stacked and Lauper shares this roster with Outkast, Bad Company, the White Stripes, and Soundgarden. Chappell Roan, a rising pop star and a longtime Lauper devotee, broke the news on her own social media, emotionally revealing that she will personally induct Cyndi and perform at the star-studded ceremony—a fitting tribute since Chappell Roan confessed she had once auditioned for America’s Got Talent with Lauper’s hit True Colors. Lauper herself has commented publicly with humility, praising the women inducted before her and calling the Hall of Fame moment a win for all women in music. This is especially weighty since Lauper reportedly played her final concert at the Hollywood Bowl in August, though an impending Las Vegas residency and future 2026 dates have been confirmed by sources like AOL, so this Hall of Fame moment doesn’t seem to be a final act after all.
At the same time, Cyndi Lauper is making significant moves in theater, as reported by LA Times Studios. Her new Working Girl musical—an adaptation of the classic 1980s film—opened this week at La Jolla Playhouse, with pop singer JoJo starring in the lead. Lauper’s newly composed score channels the vibrant spirit of 80s pop, re-energizing the story’s themes of ambition and class struggle and receiving early buzz for its fresh, feminist energy. Lauper herself did press describing her hopes to leave audiences laughing, crying, and most importantly, inspired to believe in their own grit.
On the social media front, news of Lauper’s Hall of Fame induction and stage musical has been trending. Instagram and Twitter are flush with tributes from fellow musicians, actors, and fans—notably celebratory posts from Chappell Roan, as well as retrospectives on Lauper’s long trajectory as a pop and Broadway icon. There does not appear to be any controversy, speculative reporting, or health concerns circulating; the current spotlight is some of the most positive and affirming of her recent career. If anything, the media drumbeat and industry acclaim around her Hall of Fame induction, new theater work, and enduring cultural relevance seem to cement Cyndi Lauper’s place not just as a pop legend but as a multi-genre powerhouse whose legend is still actively unfolding.
