Christopher Corbin, a longtime reader, was lucky enough to attend Niki Haris's Mother's Day show in L.A., where she joined forces with Donna De Lory — that's right, Madonna's former backup singers and dancers, together again!

Interestingly, for having once been in Madonna's gang, it was Cyndi Lauper they chose to cover!

Award-winning novelist Marc Acito and Grammy nominee Amy Engelhardt have teamed up to create a new musical adaptation of the 1963 film Tom Jones.

Check it out here — and do so knowing that all proceeds will go to Cyndi Lauper's nonprofit True Colors Fund, dedicated to ending LGBTQ homelessness.
