Theatre proposals are part of the work of critics. So when a friend sent a text that encouraged him to take a visiting mom, “something fun” was the requirement on Broadway – I didn’t waste the moment: Boop! musical.
The properties it is based on come from popular comics from 1930 to 1939, so it may seem like a surprising answer. Still, Betty Boop was able to withstand, accumulating a massive generation of fans, becoming one of the most globally recognized animated figures of all time.
Director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell has the knack for leaving the audience to a natural high after every show, but brings another literal sparkle to a piece that longs for so long on days when almost every old-fashioned musical brings a huge thrill.
Jasmine’s Amy Rogers can add even more competition to the mix, as if the field of top women in the competition for the best actress in music nominations wasn’t rich enough. She makes her confident and dynamic Broadway debut as a leading woman.
With a voice that will soon be unforgettable, Rogers owns all the girly charms of the cartoon characters, but he takes David Foster’s incredible score to incredible heights.
Her love interest, Dwayne (Ainsley Melham), is another wonder. Known primarily for his stage work in his home country of Australia, Melham’s incredibly handsome appearance pairs well with Triple’s threatening skills.
Don’t expect complicated plots from bookwriter Bob Martin. In short, Betty Boop is transported from the black and white world of comics to a modern comics conference in New York.
Finally, Betty becomes the woman she has always wanted. Tony’s winner, Faith Prince, along with Betty’s Grumpy (Steven DeRosa), is a scene steeler as Valentina who brings in the time-traveling gimmick that sends Betty to the present day.
Like 2022 There are also things that are hot, Boop! It accepts nostalgic views, but subtly infuses feminist and pro LGBTQ themes that certainly anger things like House Speaker Mike Johnson. For us who enjoy the fun, Boop! A buoyant love letter to musical theatre.
Boop! Musical (★★★★☆) He will be performing at the Broadhurst Theatre at 235 W. 44th St. in New York until June 29th. Tickets range from $58 to $256. visit www.boopthemusical.com.
