Cyndi Lauper<\/a> has no time for troublemakers.<\/p>\n The singer, 72, kicked off her Las Vegas residency, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Friday, April 24.<\/p>\n At one point, a heckler called Lauper out while she was onstage, telling her to sing and not talk. In response, the star responded, “I don\u2019t know what the f— he\u2019s saying. Please remember where you are, okay?”<\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019re trying to shade me, bitch, I\u2019m going to come for you. I\u2019m from Brooklyn, and if I want to f—ing talk, I will do a tap dance if I f—ing want,” she continued.<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter<\/a> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer\u200b\u200b, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/p>\n Cyndi Lauper performs in Las Vegas on April 24, 2026 Lauper’s residency in Sin City is based on her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun farewell tour that ended in August 2025 after nearly 70 shows across four continents.<\/p>\n The short-run set of Vegas shows feature 16 songs, multiple wigs, an onstage costume change in full view and a \u201ccommunity of light,\u201d otherwise known as the audience.<\/p>\n The show was a story of Lauper’s catalog, and colorful production on the oversized screen behind the stage used modern-day technology to enhance songs, some more than 40 years old.<\/p>\n Cyndi Lauper performs in Las Vegas on April 24, 2026 For over two hours, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and her all-female band performed songs spanning Lauper’s career, but mostly hits from the \u201880s and \u201890s, including \u201cChange of Heart,\u201d “The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough\u201d and \u201cI Drove All Night” \u2014 a song also famously covered by former Vegas headliner C\u00e9line Dion<\/a>, who performed on the Caesars stage for the better part of 16 years.<\/p>\n “There weren’t any songs on the radio about women driving, and driving is like a power thing because you don’t have to be beholden to anyone,\u201d Lauper said. \u201cYou could get in your car and drive, and so I did it as a power song.\u201d<\/p>\n In the lead-up to the residency, Lauper often referred to Vegas as \u201cCyn City.” And while she came out on stage donning an over-the-top black headpiece, \u00e0 la a showgirl, she largely stayed away from Vegas clich\u00e9s.<\/p>\n Cyndi Lauper performs in Las Vegas on April 24, 2026 Still, Lauper was her eccentric self, speaking gleefully about art and asserting that it was the reason for her Vegas run.<\/p>\n \u201cI heard there was an art community here, and I wanted to come and do art and music,\u201d she said. “And tonight we’re trying to do … It’s like an artist collaborative, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n Cyndi Lauper performs in Las Vegas on April 24, 2026 Lauper did spend a significant amount of time addressing the audience in between songs, speaking about her ties to professional wrestling, her family (even admitting she has a \u201ccousin Vinny\u201d) and joking about her lack of \u201cpeople skills.\u201d<\/p>\n Not one to shy away from her politics, Lauper steered clear of the topic for the most part during the show. However, she and her band raised their fists during \u201cTrue Colors\u201d in front of the Progress Pride Flag.<\/p>\n Later, she spoke of her Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights Fund<\/a>, which supports the health of women and the LGBTQ+ community.<\/p>\n Cyndi Lauper performs in Las Vegas on April 24, 2026 \u201cI think it’s so important that people tell their stories, because we may not agree on politics, this or that. You have to understand the person you’re talking to. You have to remember your humanity, right?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Tickets to see Lauper’s Girls Just Wanna Have Fun residency can be purchased here<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Cyndi](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/0680ff70a9f43611745cb23f90f183de.jpeg\"\/)
