The actor picked to play the iconic, baby-faced flapper Betty Boop in a new stage musical is a triple threat from Texas with a contagious laugh.Jasmine Amy Rogers will star in"BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical" making its debut this fall in Chicago with hopes that it can charm itself to Broadway. It first plays Broadway In Chicago from Nov. 19-Dec. 24."Those are huge shoes to fill, but I'm in such a great company.
The musical is directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell, who discovered Rogers while he was directing the musical"Becoming Nancy" at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta in 2019. "I was looking for moxie. I was looking for effervescence," he said."There's a song at the end of the first act, and when she sang the song, she just made me cry, brought me to tears with so much joy and so much style. That was it. She completely won the role. She came in and won the role."
Betty Boop has been a queen of animated cartoon characters since 1930, wearing round eyes, a strapless minidress, with a garter peeking out above her knee and large hoop earrings in her ears. She was introduced in short movies fluttering her lashes and trilling her signature"Boop-oop-a-doop," a Depression-era bad girl.
Rogers is one of many young actors taking on roles that weren't necessarily created with Black women in mind."I'm basically casting Jasmine to fulfill the story that we're telling in this musical," says Mitchell."And when you see the musical, I think you'll immediately understand why I cast her."
