Lauper, who is currently on a nationwide tour, had Boy George up onstage with her in New York City Wednesday night for the first of two concerts the pair are doing at the Beacon Theater, with Rosie O’Donnell as their special guest and comic opener.

“Night one of two at the @beacontheatre starts tonight! #nyc #tour #detour,” Lauper wrote on Instagram yesterday with a picture of the marquee.

Lauper captioned another shot from the evening, “Road cases gettin’ rolled in and ready for tonight at the #beacon! Xx.”

“Such a beautiful theatre tonight. Can’t wait to hear those beautiful voices to match! #tour #detour #nyc,” she captioned a picture inside the theater.

While Boy George is only joining Lauper for a handful of dates on her Detour tour, he’ll be hitting the road again this summer with Culture Club. He’s been talking about the forthcoming concert tour on the morning talk shows, where he’s also been able to clear the air about his claim that he once slept with the late Prince while a mentor on The Voice.

“Of course that’s not true. It was a joke.” George told Wendy Williams on her show, revealing that it was just a quip to lure a talented contestant onto his team. Boy George added, “I’m a massive Prince fan. I met him once in Italy and he was suitably eccentric. He was exactly what you’d expect him to be. He was Prince!”
