As for Ms. Boop, she first entered the scene in the 1930s and was created by Max Fleischer as the first and only female cartoon star of that time.
Boop is also the first cartoon character to be profiled by A&E’s Biography series.
As for the musical, it will feature Betty Boop along with her friends, Koko and Bimbo, trying to “work her irresistible charm in reuniting her grandfather (who has created the Greatest Invention of Mankind) with the long-lost, true love of his life, while saving the Happy Heart Theater from the developer’s bulldozers.”
