Betty Boop! in BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical comes to Broadway In Chicago's CIBC Theatre (18 W. Monroe St.) live on stage this fall for the first time for a limited five-week engagement, November 19 - December 24.

Tony Award®-winning director/choreographer Jerry Mitchell (Kinky Boots, Pretty Woman: The Musical, Hairspray) brings the Queen of the Animated Screen to the theater in BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical, with celebrated multiple Grammy® Award-winning composer David Foster ("I Have Nothing," "After The Love Is Gone," "The Prayer"), Tony Award®-nominated lyricist Susan Birkenhead (Working, Jelly's Last Jam), and Tony Award®-winning book writer Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone, The Prom).  

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."
