BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical

BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical at Fisher Theatre - MI

Betty Boop is tired of being famous. Yes, that Betty Boop. In BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical, the animated icon wants a day when nobody expects her to smile, perform, or be the character everyone recognizes. Her escape from a black-and-white world sends her into a colorful New York City adventure with music, comedy, and romance.

It's a funny premise with a surprisingly relatable heartbeat. Who hasn't wanted to switch off everyone else's expectations for a while? Betty's wish gives the musical more to play with than nostalgia. David Foster's songs and Susan Birkenhead's lyrics bring fresh musical life to her journey, while Bob Martin's book follows the discoveries waiting beyond her familiar image. Jerry Mitchell handles direction and choreography, making movement part of the appeal for fans who come to the theatre for a lively production.

The Sunday 1:00 PM performance at Detroit's Fisher Theatre is an easy way to turn an afternoon into a shared adventure. A longtime Betty Boop fan can enjoy seeing a familiar character take on a new story; a younger audience member can meet her for the first time. The production is recommended for ages five and up, making it an option for families as well as musical-comedy lovers.
