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.

The in-person box office will open next Tuesday the 11th at 10 AM with a ribbon-cutting, giveaways, and select $50 tickets for previews.

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

Watch the Boop cast album get released before Death Becomes Her and Maybe Happy Ending which were both recorded weeks (months?) prior.

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.

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

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.

That, I don't know, but this is a top-notch creative team and they should know if/how the material can be improved."

You can’t improve anything when there is nothing there to work with. The cast is great but it’s like putting a Bentley engine in a K car

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

Block someone? What a big baby ! Dude, they are papering the houses. This is not Disney World where everything is wonderful, some shows don’t make it .

If it bombs it bombs but the constant barrage of negative comments has gotten very tiresome. 

Prior to this account what name did you use on here before you were banned?

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.

I had them blocked but had to reply to someone else yesterday regarding them. They are back on block now.

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.

Member of the cast posted the curtain and looks like they changed that part at least.

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

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.
