Cyndi Lauper Collaborates with ABBA's Team for Innovative Live Experience

Pop music legend Cyndi Lauper, with an illustrious career that took off in the 1980s, has partnered with the creative team that conceived the innovative concert experience 'ABBA Voyage'. This collaboration foresees the infusion of Lauper's vibrant pop classics into new immersive live experiences for audiences.

A New Vision for Classic Hits

The Pophouse Entertainment Group, co-founded by ABBA's Björn Ulvaeus, is behind this new venture, which has involved acquiring a majority of Lauper's music portfolio. This strategic move aims at reimagining Lauper's iconic songs in a contemporary format, drawing in both loyal fans and next-generation listeners.

Lauper has expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, emphasizing the creative alignment with Pophouse Entertainment Group. According to Lauper, while traditional music executives prioritize commercial hits, her new Swedish colleagues are intent on crafting something original and engaging.

Bringing a New York Story to Life

With a career spanning four decades, Cyndi Lauper is focused on an 'immersive theater piece' that reflects her New York upbringing and the influential women in her life. The project is not just nostalgia; it's a tribute and a connection to her roots.

The project promises a rich, contextual backdrop for Lauper's music, integrating the stories behind her songs with her personal experiences and activism. Throughout her career, Lauper has been a staunch advocate for women's rights, and she envisions this new show as both a remembrance and a platform to continue her advocacy efforts.

Impacting Social Change Through Music

Lauper's anthem 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' has become a beacon of feminist movement, something that she witnessed firsthand during the Women’s March in 2017. The march inspired her to fundraise for organizations supporting women's health and rights, an effort that has resulted in significant donations.

Lauper hopes her upcoming project will resonate with audiences by revisiting the inspirations for her music, showcasing life's struggles and joys, and reinforcing her commitment to equality and empowerment.
