Iconic singer Cyndi Lauper joined TODAY's Kathie Lee and Hoda this morning to talk about the global expansion of her musical Kinky Boots, her struggles with psoriasis, and a couple of new projects, including Broadway work and a new album.

"Are you going to do more Broadway, Cyndi, do you have something in mind?" asked Hoda. "Yes!," confirmed the Tony Award winner, adding "We'll yeah, we're still talking. Meantime I'm gonna make a record with Seymour Stein." Watch the appearance below!

Kinky Boots, the Tony and Grammy Award-winning hit musical, recently CELEBRATED their two-year anniversary on Broadway. The show, featuring a Tony Award-winning score by pop icon Cyndi Lauper, a book by Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein, and direction and choreography by Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell, opened to rave reviews on April 4, 2013, at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre (302 West 45th St), where it's played 835 performances for over a million people.

Kinky Boots won six 2013 Tony Awards, the most of any show this season, including Best Musical, Best Score (Cyndi Lauper), Best Choreography (Jerry Mitchell), Best Actor (Billy Porter), Best Orchestrations (Stephen Oremus), and Best Sound Design (John Shivers). In September 2014, Kinky Boots launched its First National Tour, which is doing record-breaking business throughout the country. A Korean-language production ran in Korea from December 2014 - February 2015, and additional productions of Kinky Boots are set to open in Toronto (Royal Alexandra Theatre beginning June 16) and London (Adelphi Theatre beginning August 21) later this year.

Kinky Boots tells the uplifting and heartwarming tale of Charlie Price, a young man reluctantly taking over his family's struggling business. Charlie meets and finds inspiration in Lola and together, the unlikely pair finds that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible... and discovers that when you change your mind about someone, you can change your whole world.
