The True Colors Tour was conceived by Cyndi Lauper stemming from her desire to celebrate the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) community and advocate for the basic values and freedoms that should be shared by all Americans. Fans experience these values through the music of both legendary icons and the newest and coolest acts this generation has to offer. The Tour has traveled across North America the past two years to critical acclaim and wildly enthusiastic crowds. For more information please visit www.truecolorstour.com.

The True Colors Fund, the non-profit arm of the True Colors Tour and co-founded by Cyndi Lauper, seeks to inspire and engage everyone, particularly the straight community, to become active participants in the advancement of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) equality and ensure a strong and vibrant GLBT community.

Broadway Impact is a grassroots organization of the Theatre community and its fans, mobilizing in support of marriage equality. Co-founded by Gavin Creel, Rory O'Malley and Jenny Kanelos, it aims to educate and inspire the community into action towards equality. For more information please visit www.broadwayimpact.com

Feinstein's at Loews Regency, the nightclub co-founded by five time Grammy Award nominated entertainer and archivist Michael Feinstein and Jonathan Tisch the Chairman and CEO of Loews Hotels, was established in 1999 as New York's home for the American Popular songbook.

Since then, a multitude of luminaries from the worlds of pop, jazz and Broadway have graced its stage from Carol Channing and Ben Vereen to Melissa Manchester and Garrison Keillor. Their 10th Anniversary season featured the debut of Tony and Emmy Award winning actress Tyne Daly, the return of platinum-selling husband and wife team Ashford and Simpson, and the return of Broadway legend Barbara Cook.
