BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical

BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical at Fisher Theatre - MI

Fame can trap you in black and white when all you crave is one quiet morning to yourself. BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical takes the beloved animated icon and builds a new adventure around her wish for an ordinary day. Betty Boop wants an ordinary day away from the spotlight, and that hunger for something real becomes the heart of this musical adventure. What begins as a simple wish launches her into New York City, where color, music and unexpected romance transform everything. With a book by Bob Martin, music by David Foster and lyrics by Susan Birkenhead, the show follows Betty as she discovers who she might become beyond the confines of her famous silhouette. It's a story about discovering a life beyond a familiar public image. Director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell brings energy and heart to a production designed for theatergoers five and up. The mixture of musical comedy and romance offers different ways to enjoy the adventure.

Betty Boop has spent years being recognized. In this musical, she wants to know what it's like not to be. That's a wonderfully funny place to begin an adventure, especially when New York City, color and unexpected romance are waiting on the other side. Tuesday night at Fisher Theatre lets a familiar cartoon icon become the center of a live story with her own desires. If you love musical comedy with a little heart, come see BOOP! in Detroit.
