Nicole Scherzinger graces the Broadway premiere of ‘BOOP!’, embodying the iconic character Betty Boop with her stunning red carpet look.
Nicole Scherzinger brought a touch of animated nostalgia to the Broadway scene this past weekend as she attended the premiere of “BOOP!,” a musical inspired by the iconic cartoon character Betty Boop. The event took place on Saturday at the Broadhurst Theatre in New York City and marked the beginning of the show’s run on Broadway after its initial premiere in Chicago earlier this year.
The 46-year-old singer-songwriter embodied the spirit of Betty Boop, showcasing the character’s trademark aesthetic with a striking red lip and long, dramatic eyelashes that mimicked those of the beloved cartoon icon. Scherzinger donned a form-fitting black and white bodycon mini dress, which highlighted her figure and paid homage to Betty’s signature style. Her hair was styled in a chic bun, complementing her glamorous makeup as she made her entrance on the red carpet.
Joining Scherzinger at the premiere was Katharine McPhee Foster, a fellow actress and singer, 41, along with her husband, David Foster, 75, who notably contributed to the musical’s music composition. David Foster has a renowned career, boasting 40 hits on the Billboard Top 100 and a Grammy win for his work on “Dreamgirls.” Speaking to “PEOPLE,” Foster described the essence of the play, stating, “She has everything in her life, but she still has, she still needs something to shout about that she hasn’t found. And if you see the play, you’ll understand.”
The musical, “BOOP!,” recounts an extraordinary day in Betty Boop’s life, weaving a narrative that features themes of adventure, color, music, and love set against the backdrop of New York City. The show’s synopsis highlights Betty’s journey, ultimately conveying a message of empowerment that encourages audiences to realize their own potential.
McPhee Foster, who gained fame as a runner-up on the fifth season of “American Idol” in 2006, also has an extensive background in theater, having made her Broadway debut in “Waitress” in 2018 and performing in the West End. She and David, despite their notable 35-year age difference, have maintained a strong partnership, although they have faced challenges—particularly in regards to parenting their son, born in 2021.
As the lights dimmed and the curtain rose on “BOOP!,” the premiere highlighted not only the creative talents involved but also the enduring impact of the Betty Boop character, who has captivated audiences for nearly a century.
