Overview

  • Producers have scheduled the final performance for July 13 after 25 previews and 112 regular shows at the Broadhurst Theatre.
  • ‘Boop!’ secured Tony nominations for lead actress and costume design but failed to win any awards for best musical.
  • Grosses of $602,017 for the week ending June 22 at 81 percent capacity left the $26 million production far from its break-even point.
  • Jasmine Amy Rogers earned critical acclaim and a Tony nomination for her portrayal of Betty Boop, while critics offered mixed reviews of the overall show.
  • It marks the fourth Broadway musical in just over two weeks to close after a Tony shutout, joining Smash, Real Women Have Curves and Dead Outlaw.
