Cyndi Lauper Score

The musical adaptation of the 1988 movie Working Girl: gets its world premiere in San Diego, brought to life by the legendary Cyndi Lauper and writer Theresa Rebeck! Debuting at La Jolla Playhouse in late 2025, the musical takes audiences back into the heart of 1980s Manhattan, where ambition and grit are the keys to success - but so are a few clever moves.

Directed by La Jolla's Christopher Ashley in his final season with the theater, Working Girl captures the humor, charm, and determination of a young secretary who refuses to let office politics and glass ceilings stand in her way. Lauper's original score is sure to bring unforgettable melodies to the show - a must-see production whether you're a fan of the original film or a total newbie!
