Could there be a more fun way to make your Broadway debut than in the iconic role of Betty Boop in BOOP! The Musical? That’s what Jasmine Amy Rogers gets to do this spring, around the same time she turns 25. “At our core, we’re very similar girls,” says Rogers of the black-and-white cartoon character who made her own debut in 1930. “Sassy, goofy. I think we both really try to see the best in the world, and we want the best for others.” Rogers, who studied musical theater at the Manhattan School of Music, was initially anxious about finding Betty Boop’s high and cheery voice: “I sound nothing like her in real life, but it turns out it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.”
