BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical

BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical at Fisher Theatre - MI

What happens when a cartoon legend wants something no amount of fame can provide—a single ordinary day? BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical asks that question and answers it with a journey that transforms animation's most recognizable flapper into a fully realized stage heroine. The musical comedy explores what it means to leave behind a familiar black-and-white existence in search of color, adventure, and real connection. The creative premise alone sets this production apart: Betty Boop dreams of escaping her monochrome world of celebrity, and that dream propels her into the vibrant chaos of New York City. Music by David Foster, lyrics by Susan Birkenhead, and a book by Bob Martin give voice to a character discovering love and a life beyond her familiar celebrity world. Direction and choreography by Jerry Mitchell shape the adventure into a story where every choice carries emotional weight. Share the matinee with a companion who enjoys musical comedy or wants a new way into the character, and compare your responses to her adventure afterward.

What does Betty Boop do when being famous stops being fun? She goes looking for a day when nobody expects anything of her—and lands in a world bursting with color and possibility. BOOP! turns that idea into a musical comedy with an original score and choreography by Jerry Mitchell. Sunday's 1:00 PM Fisher Theatre performance is an inviting introduction for families and longtime fans alike. Choose seats and spend the afternoon rooting for Betty to find something real.
