BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical | Show Clips

Soooooo there is a Betty Boop musical on Broadway. I read about it, but will not be linking to Variety, as their privacy policy mentions using screen recordings (🤢 ick).

Apparently it draws alot of inspiration from the Barbie movie, where Betty goes from ToonTown to IRL 2025. The review said it was alright, maybe overdoing it here or there.

Mae Questel (1908 – 1998) was an American actress best known for providing the voices for Betty Boop and Olive Oyl. She was born to an Orthodox Jewish family that actively discouraged her from a career in show business. Nevertheless at the age of 17 she set out to follkw that carreer - first performing in vaudeville as an impersonator. she did impressions of Fanny Brice, Marlene Dietrich, Mae West, Maurice Chevalier and others. Eventually she was seen by animator Max Fleischer, who was looking for an actress to provide the voice for his Betty Boop character. Many years later she reprised her role as Betty Boop in the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit
She appeared as an actress in several films including A Majority of One, Funny Girl, and Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. She also appeared in. any commercials, most famously as Aunt Bluebell in the Scott Towel ads.

Yea, Oh Believers and not so much, something or other is going to happen at some moment or other.

Sale Ends on Tuesday, if it does not rain betwixt some place and the further place.

Remember, to prepare for that which happens at the happenstance. Include a retro umbrella with the soul of a zebra, a melon scoop, the soup du jour, and vinyl radio.

Do this in the remembrance of #BettyBoop.

My 5th #tattoo (the 1st one since 2017) is in memory of my Mom, who passed away in June of 2021. It was done on Halloween that year. At the time I had it done, I thought of the Bible as representing my Dad for several reasons and they were married for 65 years when she passed. It was the 1st one done by Q at #FlipsideInk which is in my part of Memphis, rather than in midtown (where there are more shops). #BettyBoop and the #Bible.
