BOOP! heading to Broadway in April 2025 — Page 2

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.

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

Looks like a cast album will be coming soon based on the Boop Instagram account story - https://www.instagram.com/stories/boopthemusical/

I was tempted to start the Previews thread early for this, but was afraid of it getting bogged down in the nonsense from the other thread. They've opened up the lottery for the first week of previews on Telecharge. 3/11-3/15. $49.

I also saw the production in Chicago, I can’t see the feasibility of fixing so many issues from the popcorn, elevator songs to the very weak book.

I think if we all collectively agree to block and ignore mrshowbiz90210 the thread would be just fine

JFC, WE GET IT 🤦🏻‍♂️

Just block this one-note troll. They're not here in good faith and nothing will come from engagement with them.

Here's the link to block.

It's a nice thought, but it's impossible to get everyone to agree to ignore them. I've had them blocked for weeks, and others keep quoting and responding to them.

Let’s all wait and see how things go. I am hoping for the best!!

They’ll be doing three more weekly drawings throughout previews. Winners drawn Fridayfor the following week."

Thanks for the info. This might be a disaster but the fine ass posters here will surely be first in line. I mean, we had a hate watching thread for the show 😂

They better have non basic merch tho.

Edit: Wrong thread but I'm still sticking by it! ❤️

Not enough sadly. Nothing original here. It’s like 42nd St with a different title.
