BOOP! The Musical begins North American tour

The North American touring production of BOOP! The Musical has commenced its run, following previous engagements in Chicago and on Broadway. The production features a live-action adaptation of the iconic 1930s animated character, following her journey of self-discovery as she travels from a monochrome world to modern-day New York City.

Directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell, the musical incorporates hip hop, tap, and jazz influences. The production features music by Grammy Award-winner David Foster and lyrics by Susan Birkenhead. The stagecraft utilizes clever theatrical techniques rather than AI to depict the transition from a black-and-white world to a colorful one.
