The Big Picture If you're lost, you can look, and you will find the new Cyndi Lauper documentary, Let the Canary Sing, on Paramount+ this summer. The doc chronicling the life and career of the iconic 1980s pop star will debut on the streamer June 4, as revealed in a new trailer. A companion soundtrack album, featuring some of Lauper's biggest hits, is also slated to be released.
The trailer takes the audience on a journey from Lauper's hardscrabble Queens girlhood, to her meteoric rise to fame on the then-nascent MTV, with chart-topping hits like "Girls Just Want To Have Fun", "True Colors", and "Time After Time", and to her current status as a gay icon and Tony-Award-winning composer for Kinky Boots. It also focuses on her unusual style and activism for LGBT+ causes.
What Else Has Cyndi Lauper Been In? Close Lauper is no stranger to the screen - which is no surprise, given that she dominated the early days of MTV with her energetic music videos, and even ventured into the world of pro wrestling in her 1980s collaboration with the World Wrestling Federation. After contributing to the hit soundtrack for The Goonies, Lauper landed a starring role in the paranormal romantic comedy Vibes, alongside Jeff Goldblum and Peter Falk.
The film is directed by Alison Ellwood, who has music documentary bonafides, having directed docs on the Lauren Canyon music scene of the 1960s, 1970s rock hitmakers The Eagles, and Lauper's girl-group contemporaries The Go-Go's. It was produced by Fine Point Films with Trevor Birney, Eimhear O’Neill, Andrew Tully, and Ellwood. Executive producers include Lisa Barbaris and Gregory P.
Let the Canary Sing will premiere on Paramount+ on June 4, 2024. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates, and watch the new trailer below.
