Weekend Poll: Fans Want Madonna to 'Express Herself' on Broadway

With Cyndi Lauper joining the ever-growing list of pop stars such as Boy George, John Mellencamp, Bono and David Bryan to pen original Broadway scores (she's adapting the film Kinky Boots into a musical alongside Tony winner Harvey Fierstein), Broadway.com asked our pop culture-savvy readers which other 80s music icon should write a Broadway show. The votes are in, and fans hope to see the Queen of Pop become the Queen of Broadway: Madonna won the poll with 28% of votes. The 80s "Material Girl" isn't a stranger to Broadway, of course: She co-starred in the original 1988 production of David Mamet's Speed the Plow and played the title role in the 1996 film version of Evita.

The number two spot went to the band Journey, with 19% of the votes. While the group has yet to write original music for the stage, their smash song "Don't Stop Believing" can be heard in current Broadway hit Rock of Ages. Blondie, the band led by rocker Debbie Harry, followed closely in third place with 17% of the votes. The top five was rounded out with 20-time Grammy winner Bruce Springsteen in fourth place (with 11% of votes) and "Purple Rain" singer Prince in fifth place (8%).

Thanks for voting!
