Observation said: "I saw this in Chicago. I wanted to enjoy it as a fluff piece and have fun, but I left genuinely confused by the plot and the moment that got the best reaction in the show was when the dog puppet shook it's butt."

If that's the highlight of this show they've got a looong walk ahead of them on Broadway. Hot cast tho.

Fun fact: Christian Probst who is in the ensemble is the son of Julie Piekarski from season 1 of Facts of Life

My biggest issue with the Chicago production is that the show didn't seem to know who Betty Boop is. The kid describes her like she's Wonder Woman. Others discuss her like Taylor Swift or Barbie. Two conversations in the second act suggest her cartoons are sexist because she's always being "chased." And interesting idea that the rest of the show ignores.

I mean the plot is a little iffy to begin with. She's a cartoon transported to modern day and then has a love interest.... so is he dating a cartoon? Is she a real person? I thought the set was also kind of lackluster. But I really liked the score.

I didn't mind the cartoon in the real-world stuff as much since it's lifted from Disney's Enchanted.
