BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical

BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical at Fisher Theatre - MI

An ordinary day can become an adventure when you're Betty Boop. BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical asks a question every icon faces: what if you could trade the spotlight for a single ordinary day? When this black-and-white star steps into the unpredictable color of New York City, she discovers that life beyond the frame is messier, funnier and far more human than she imagined—and that's precisely the point. Director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell, along with composer David Foster, lyricist Susan Birkenhead and book writer Bob Martin, have built a show that balances laughter with longing. Betty's journey isn't just about escaping fame; it's about learning what parts of yourself you've hidden to please everyone else. The musical comedy wraps romance and adventure around a central truth: vulnerability isn't weakness, it's the only path to connection. Her wish to be more than a famous image offers a personal way into the comedy. See BOOP! at Fisher Theatre in Detroit on December 10, 2026, at 7:30 PM.

The funny thing about Betty Boop's wish is how modest it sounds. She doesn't ask for more fame; she asks for less. BOOP! turns that small rebellion into a big musical adventure, moving from black-and-white celebrity to colorful New York possibilities. Thursday at Fisher Theatre, Jerry Mitchell's choreography and David Foster's songs bring the journey to life. If you're ready for a playful story about choosing your own path, take your seat and follow Betty out of the spotlight.
