Broadway veteran and Grammy Award-winning singer Cyndi Lauper will perform at a benefit concert for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland on May 14, according to the Associated Press.

The Hall of Fame will also open “Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power,” the world’s first exhibit devoted to rock’s most influential female artists, on May 13. It will spotlight more than 50 performers, ranging from Billie Holiday and Aretha Franklin to Melissa Etheridge and Lady Gaga. Throughout the year, the museum will offer educational programming on the role women have played in rock and roll.


Lauper appeared on Broadway in the Roundabout Theatre Company’s revival of The Threepenny Opera. She will perform as part of the Grammy Award’s pre-ceremony on February 13 and at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival later this year.
