Take an '80s pop icon with a love of pink hair streaks and add a raspy-voiced Broadway star with a love of drag, and you've got the award-winning team of Cyndi Lauper and Harvey Fierstein. They join us to talk about their own colorful careers, and their upcoming San Francisco performance of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical "Kinky Boots," the story of the unlikely pairing of a bootmaker and a dancing transvestite.

Guests:

Cyndi Lauper, '80s pop icon, award-winning artist and composer of the new Broadway musical, "Kinky Boots"

Harvey Fierstein, Tony Award-winning playwright and actor who wrote the book for the musical "Kinky Boots"; he also starred in the musicals "Fiddler on the Roof" and "Hairspray"
