Musical-comedy that brings Betty Boop's classic cartoon energy to the stage with original music and choreography.
Boop! The Musical plays The Fabulous Fox Theatre on Tuesday, November 3, at 7:30 PM. It's a Broadway musical-comedy centered on Betty Boop, directed by Jerry Mitchell with a score by David Foster. The production takes Boop's classic cartoon energy and puts it on stage, reimagining her story in a contemporary musical format that blends jazz-age charm with modern theatrical storytelling, original music, and choreography.
There's a nice bit of history behind the venue that fits the show. The Fabulous Fox Theatre opened in 1929 as a movie palace and was one of the first theaters in the country built with full 'talkie' equipment for the Movietone process. It closed in 1978, then Fox Associates bought it in 1982 and restored it to its original glory. These days it hosts concerts, comedy, dance, and touring Broadway productions, and its grand atmosphere suits a show of this style.
