BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical

BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical at Connor Palace Theatre

Some characters never go out of style. Betty Boop is one of them. On Saturday, February 13, Betty Boop steps into the spotlight at Connor Palace Theatre.

A familiar character pushed into a bigger, more theatrical world is a great reason to go. The orchestra, the costumes and the cast do the rest. If you grew up knowing Betty Boop's look and attitude, this is a rare stage show that turns a classic pop-culture favorite into a live night out. The official synopsis follows Betty as she longs for an ordinary day off from fame and winds up in an adventure filled with color, music and love in New York City. Playhouse Square describes Betty's journey as a colorful adventure with romance, comedy and heart. That gives the production more than nostalgia.

It is more than a novelty title. It is a polished new musical built for audiences who want charm, color and big-stage personality. Playhouse Square's Connor Palace Theatre gives the evening a grand downtown Cleveland setting. A Saturday date makes this an easy weekend plan. It sits in the middle of the run. Two performances are scheduled for this date, so you can pick the one that suits your day. Bring a friend who loves a classic icon. See the other BOOP! performance on Saturday, February 13.
