We are tentative fans — "tentative" meaning we haven't seen it but are hopeful we'll love it — of Boop the Musical, which opened recently to mixed reviews at the Broadhurst Theatre on Broadway. I probably won't get back there until later this year and I hope it's still running. The folks I know who've see it — cartoon fans, all — have been unanimous in their praise. The critics who I've seen panning it seem to be saying "Why the hell is there a musical on Broadway about an old cartoon that no one cares about?" So there are two views for you.
One of the many things that interests me about it that they did one of those "video diaries" covering the making of the show. Four installments have been released so far. Here's Part One…
…and here's Part Two, Part Three and Part Four. I wish more shows did this. I really liked the ones for Something Rotten and Catch Me If You Can.
