Cyndi Lauper wants the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community to know that her love truly shows no bounds.
Having already served as a grand marshal for New York City LGBT Pride in June, the legendary pop icon and all-around humanitarian is now set to touch down at New York's XL Nightclub with acclaimed dance troupe Ballets with a Twist for an intimate performance on Sept. 20. Lauper, 59, will sing her 1986 hit "True Colors" -- a particularly appropriate choice, as proceeds from the event will go toward her True Colors Fund, aimed at both combatting and raising awareness of homeless LGBT youth.
While Lauper's performance will undoubtedly be a highlight, the entire "Cocktail Hour" evening is gearing up to be truly unforgettable. Ballets with a Twist promises an "irreverent suite of dances" that will bring iconic American cocktails and drinks -- with numbers called "Manhattan," "Mai Tai" and even "Absinthe" -- to life. Although the company has performed this signature program elsewhere, choreographer Marilyn Klaus said the troupe has some surprises in store for the XL audience, including unique costumes for the show.
