As the cartoon vixen sprung to life in Boop!, Jasmine Amy Rogers gives the most sensational star-making Broadway turn in years — funny, captivating, a total knockout. It would be impossible to take your eyes off her if the rest of the production, directed and choreographed with maximalist razzle-dazzle by Jerry Mitchell, weren’t such an eye-popping spectacle.

Directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell, this is an old-fashioned candy shop of a show, where tasty confections are sold in bulk. When Boop! is corny, it’s candy corn. Gorge on the multicolor gumdrops of its high-energy production numbers; chew the jelly beans of its gentle social-mindedness; let the caramel creams of its love story melt slightly oversweetly in your mouth. And above all, savor this show’s red-hot cinnamon heart: Jasmine Amy Rogers, making a sensational Broadway debut as the 1930s animated-short icon Betty Boop.

Boop! The Musical borrows from “Barbie” and “The Wizard of Oz,” takes on #MeToo Baddies and Eric Adams, and brings a show-stopping rainbow of joy to Broadway.

Who would have thought that the most compelling musical comedy heroine in decades would be a nearly 100-year-old cartoon character?

The musical, original songs for which the Grammy winner penned, is now in performances in the Broadhurst Theatre in New York City
