Let The Canary Sing is due for release on the Paramount+ streaming platform exclusively on June 4 in the United States and Canada, followed by release in the UK, Australia, Latin America, Brazil, Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria on June 5.

The documentary will be accompanied by a soundtrack featuring Cyndi Lauper’s biggest hits, including ‘Girls Just Want To Have Fun’, ‘Time After Time’, ‘True Colours’ and more.

Directed by Alison Ellwood, Lauper said of the documentary via a press statement: “Over the years I’ve been asked to do a documentary about my life and work, but it never felt like the right time. Until now. When I first met Alison Ellwood, I knew right away I could trust her to tell my story honestly, which was incredibly important to me, and she succeeded in that.”

Cyndi Lauper is due to play an “exclusive” greatest hits show at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Wednesday, June 26 ahead of the New York singer-songwriter’s appearance at Glastonbury Festival later that weekend. It’ll mark Lauper’s first UK solo concert in eight years.
