Absolutely fascinating

Loved this documentary so much. I've been ann avid fan of Cyndi Lauper since I first saw her on television in 1994 when twelve deadly Cyns came out and I couldn't wait to see this. Watched it at Sheffield film festival and my husband loved it too even though he's not as much of a fan as me. Cyndi has led an amazing life, very interesting and she is truly talented. She can sing all genres of music and is known for theatre too by writing Kinky boots and winning a Tony award. She's also won Grammys and an Emmy award so she's close to earning an Egot. The documentary is well done and would love to see it again.
