Boop! The Betty Boop Musical will begin previews at Broadway’s Broadhurst Theatre on on March 11, 2025, with an opening night set for April 5.
The previously announced engagement follows a well-received run in Chicago last year.
Broadway casting and ticket information will be announced soon.
Directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell, the musical features a score by composer David Foster, lyrics by Susan Birkenhead and book by Bob Martin.
The synopsis: For almost a century, Betty Boop, created by animation pioneer Max Fleischer, has won hearts and inspired fans around the world with her trademark looks, voice, and style. Now, in Boop! The Betty Boop Musical, Betty’s dream of an ordinary day off from the super-celebrity in her black-and-white world leads to an extraordinary adventure of color, music, and finding love in New York City — one that reminds her and the world, “You are capable of amazing things.”
