Review: Cyndi Lauper’s true colors shone through her farewell tour stop at AAC
Like many a pop star, Cyndi Lauper has declared this tour her farewell. Whether she lives up to that or not is too soon to say, but for sure, she delivered on her music legacy and showmanship in abundance Tuesday night at American Airlines Center.
If she’s stepping away from touring, she went out on a high note. The Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour made its way to Dallas and the night was both a fun-filled night of Lauper’s popular hits mixed with tender ballads and poignant stories.
She kicked off the show with a quad of her signature bangers starting with the appropriate “She Bop.” Lauper literally bopped her way through the night with a charming looniness and a powerhouse voice.
Instead of simply moving on immediately to the next tune, she stopped the vibe to tell the first of many stories throughout the night before “Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough” in which she name checked former WWF wrestlers Captain Lou Albano, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Nikolai Volkoff and her mom who all appeared in the video that played behind her.
