BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical

BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical at Connor Palace Theatre

Boop-oop-a-doop, now in full color and live on stage. BOOP! takes the Connor Palace Theatre stage on Friday, February 19, bringing Betty Boop to a full-color musical.

It is more than a novelty title. It is a polished new musical built for audiences who want charm, color and big-stage personality. 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. 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. Playhouse Square describes Betty's journey as a colorful adventure with romance, comedy and heart. That gives the production more than nostalgia. With book by Bob Martin, music by David Foster, lyrics by Susan Birkenhead, and original Broadway direction and choreography by Jerry Mitchell, the show arrives with serious Broadway credentials behind the fun.

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. Playhouse Square's Connor Palace Theatre gives the evening a grand downtown Cleveland setting. A Friday date makes this an easy weekend plan. It lands in the final stretch of the run. Bring a friend who loves a classic icon. Get BOOP! tickets for Friday, February 19.
