It has been announced that BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical will open on Broadway in April 2025 at a Shubert theatre to be announced, following a critically acclaimed engagement in Chicago last year.

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

Casting for the Broadway production of BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical will be announced soon.

Director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell said: "Creating BOOP! with David, Susan and Bob and premiering in Chicago last holiday season was a gift to all of us and our entire family. I can't wait to bring Betty home to Broadway next Spring.

“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 musical comedy extravaganza.

“For almost a century, Betty Boop, created by animation pioneer Max Fleischer, 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 design and creative team includes set designer David Rockwell, costume designer Gregg Barnes, lighting designer Philip S. Rosenberg, sound designer Gareth Owen, projection designer Finn Ross, illusions designer Skylar Fox, music supervisor and arranger Daryl Waters, orchestrator Doug Besterman, dance music arranger Zane Mark, musical director Andrew Resnick, and casting by Tara Rubin.
