BOOP!® The Musical

BOOP!® The Musical brings Betty Boop, Fleischer Studios’ iconic black-and-white screen star, to the stage in a colorful musical-comedy adventure. When Betty dreams of taking an ordinary day off from her life as a super-celebrity, she is swept into a story of music, love, laughter, and New York City excitement.

The production features direction and choreography by Tony Award® winner Jerry Mitchell, music by multiple GRAMMY® winner David Foster, lyrics by Tony Award® nominee Susan Birkenhead, and a book by Tony Award® winner Bob Martin. The North American touring company includes Aliya Grace as Betty Boop, Mason Ballard as Dwayne, and Ashley Calderon as Trisha. The show is presented as an all-ages Broadway musical filled with vibrant staging and Betty’s signature “Boop-oop-a-doop.”
