BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical

BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical at Fisher Theatre - MI

What happens when a black-and-white cartoon legend steps off the screen and into a world alive with color? BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical brings an American animated icon into a new stage adventure. Betty Boop dreams of something every star craves: a day off from fame, a chance to be ordinary. That wish launches her into an adventure where music and movement carry the story forward, with self-discovery at the heart of her adventure. Director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell brings dance alongside song in this musical comedy. David Foster's music and Susan Birkenhead's lyrics provide the original score, while Bob Martin's book charts her path through New York City, a place where anonymity and discovery walk hand in hand. The stage becomes a playground of contrasts: monochrome memory versus vivid possibility, the weight of a public persona versus the lightness of reinvention. See the performance on Thursday, December 3, 2026, at 7:30 PM at Fisher Theatre in Detroit.

There's something delicious about sending a black-and-white star into a city that refuses to stay inside the lines. BOOP! makes Betty's wish for an ordinary day the start of a very unordinary musical comedy. Jerry Mitchell's choreography and David Foster's music give her journey a live theatrical life. If you've only known Betty as an image, Thursday's Fisher Theatre show gives you a reason to care about what she wants. Choose seats and follow her into color.
