BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical

BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical at Connor Palace Theatre

Color, comedy and a New York City adventure, all in one evening. BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical comes to Connor Palace Theatre on Wednesday, February 3, a new Broadway-style show about one of pop culture's most recognizable icons.

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. 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 describes Betty's journey as a colorful adventure with romance, comedy and heart. That gives the production more than nostalgia.

The visual contrast of a black-and-white icon in a full-color world is part of the fun. Live performance gives every wink, song and comic turn extra spark. Connor Palace is one of Playhouse Square's historic downtown theatres, with the scale and atmosphere to make a big production feel like an occasion. A Wednesday date turns an ordinary week into something with a plan in it. It falls early in the run. It is a good excuse to dress up and enjoy a big, bright night.
