BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical is based on the beloved characters created by Max Fleischer. Betty Boop made her debut in 1930 as a dog-like stage performer and quickly evolved into a full-fledged human character, becoming the world's first female animated screen star by 1932. She has since appeared in numerous films, TV specials, commercials, and even A&E's Biography series.

Today, Fleischer Studios continues to delight fans and collectors with Betty Boop's worldwide licensing phenomenon. You can learn more about Betty Boop and Fleischer Studios at www.fleischerstudios.com and www.bettyboop.com.
