The now-iconic cartoon character Betty Boop first debuted in Fleischer Studios' Talkartoon series in the 1930s. Betty was a bit player, but became so popular the studio created animated movies just for her. Betty comes to Broadway in an entirely original story with “Boop! The Musical!”
Starring newcomer Jasmine Amy Rogers (Betty), Tony Award winner Faith Prince (Valentina) and Ainsley Melham (Dwayne) “Boop!” is a romantic musical comedy for the whole family — as director-choreographer Jerry Mitchell tells host Ruthie Fierberg in this episode of “Broadway Press Day.”
With music by 16-time Grammy Award winner David Foster (songs like Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing”) and lyrics by Tony nominee Susan Birkenhead, the cast and creative team share what to expect from the new musical.
