Lauper, who also performed at Nationwide Arena with Cher in 2014, burst onto the scene with teased-up, neon-colored hair and vintage-punk outfits, releasing her first album in 1983.
"She's So Unusual" was the first debut album by a female artist to score four Top 5 hits on the Billboard Hot 100: "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," "Time After Time," "She Bop" and "All Through the Night." It also won Lauper the Grammy for best new artist.

The native New Yorker composed the score for the Broadway hit "Kinky Boots," which won her the Tony Award for best original score. The musical also won five other Tonys and a Grammy for best musical theater album for the cast recording.
Lauper's tour comes in tandem with "Let the Canary Sing," a feature-length documentary chronicling the 70-year-old artist's life and career. The film premieres exclusively in the U.S. and Canada on Paramount+ on Tuesday.
To celebrate the tour and film, Lauper is to be honored with an imprint ceremony at the TCL (Grauman's) Chinese Theatre, also on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, she is to be a guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" which airs at 11:35 p.m. on ABC.
