BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical

BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical at Fisher Theatre - MI

Sharing BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical with someone who appreciates character-driven comedy is its own kind of gift—the chance to watch a familiar icon wrestle with fame, routine, and the pull of something bigger. Betty Boop dreams of an ordinary day off from her black-and-white world, and what follows is an adventure through New York City filled with color, music, and love. Betty's wish gives the adventure a personal starting point.

Bob Martin's book, Susan Birkenhead's lyrics, and David Foster's music create a musical comedy that balances wit with heart. Directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell, the production transforms a beloved cartoon silhouette into a three-dimensional person wrestling with real longing. Following her desire for a different life gives you something to discuss alongside the music and comedy.

On Wednesday, December 9, 2026, at 7:30 PM, the Fisher Theatre in Detroit becomes the place where animation meets live performance, for a shared musical-comedy outing. The production carries age guidance of 5+, a useful starting point for anyone planning a family visit.

Wednesday evening doesn't have to be the dull space between two weekends. BOOP! fills it with a familiar character chasing a very unfamiliar dream: one ordinary day away from being famous. Betty's colorful New York adventure adds romance and comedy, while the live score gives her a voice beyond animation. Bring a friend who loves musical theatre or someone who remembers Betty from years ago. Check Fisher Theatre tickets and see where her day off leads.
