David Foster Is Heading to Broadway With the Musical-Comedy Adaptation of the 1930s Cartoon Character Betty Boop
David Foster's highest profile project for 2025 is “Boop! The Musical,” slated to open April 5 at New York’s Broadhurst Theatre
The musical opens in that grayscale Jazz Age world but through her grandfather’s time-traveling invention she finds herself in colorful, contemporary New York (illustrated by the show-stopping “Where I Wanna Be” number at the end of Act I). “It’s a period piece, set in the 1930s and ’40s,” explains Foster, “quite different for me.” Milazzo was Tony-nominated for her orchestrations on “Once on This Island”; she was also credited with vocal design for “A Beautiful Noise,” “Almost Famous” and “Finding Neverland,” among others. It’s the story of teenage half-sisters Eva and Iris, who crisscross America in search of fame and fortune, from dull Ohio to decadent Hollywood and back to New York, where jazz clubs beckon.
