Please welcome to the stage, live for the first time ever . . . Betty Boop! That sassy-sweet champion of empowerment, that spit-curled icon of joy, that songstress of strength comes alive in BOOP!, a new Broadway-bound, musical-comedy extravaganza that’s fun for the whole family.

Cast members perform highlights from the new musical as Tony Award–winning director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell (Kinky Boots, La Cage aux Folles, Hairspray) discusses bringing Fleischer Studios’ Queen of the Screen to the theater. Learn more about the new musical—with music by multiple-time Grammy-winning composer David Foster (“I Have Nothing,” “After the Love Is Gone,” “The Prayer”), lyrics by Tony-nominated Susan Birkenhead (Working, Jelly’s Last Jam), and book by Tony-winning Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone, The Prom)—prior to the Broadway premiere in April 2025.
