This Autumn, Jasmine Amy Rogers (Mean Girls, US National Tour) will star as Betty Boop in BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical at Broadway In Chicago’s CIBC Theatre for a limited five-week run from 19 November - 24 December.

Tony Award®-winning director/choreographer Jerry Mitchell brings the Queen of the Animated Screen to the stage, alongside celebrated multiple Grammy® Award-winning composer David Foster, Tony Award®-nominated lyricist Susan Birkenhead, and Tony Award®-winning book writer Bob Martin.

Jerry Mitchell said: “From the moment Jasmine walks into a room and shares that magnificent smile and her contagious laugh, you know you are in the presence of Betty Boop. And, like the cartoon Betty, Jasmine can do everything brilliantly – acting, singing, dancing –I know her performance will capture the hearts of audiences of all ages.”

Betty Boop, that sassy-sweet champion of empowerment, that spit-curled icon of joy, that songstress of strength, comes alive in BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical, the new Broadway-bound musical comedy extravaganza.

For almost a century, Betty Boop has won hearts and inspired fans around the world with her trademark looks, voice, and style. Now, in BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical, Betty's dream of an ordinary day off from the super-celebrity in her black-and-white world leads to an extraordinary adventure of color, music, and love in New York City — one that reminds her and the world, “You are capable of amazing things.

The creative team for BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical includes set designer David Rockwell, costume designer Gregg Barnes, lighting designer Philip S. Rosenberg, sound designer Gareth Owen, projection designer Finn Ross, and musical supervisor and arranger Daryl Waters.
