"This is what I always wanted to do, and when they said, 'Why don't you do, you know, a farewell tour?' I said, 'If I do a farewell tour, I'm going to do what I always wanted.' And that was mix art and music in an arena."
"I'm excited, and it's a celebration Stephen. Everybody comes, everyone's welcome. Some people dress up. Some people don't. It's a lot of fun. We sell wigs," she added.
Lauper is also among the upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees.

Among them are Snow White and Pixar's Elio, both of which failed to recoup their budgets when they hit theaters. Is Disney Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold?
