      It was probably open casting given the specific medium.
      You guys gotta remember that stage shows and broadway musicals are casted way differently than movies or shows because they expect that if it succeeds there will be multiple casts playing the same characters over and over.
      So it's usually all "open casting" with different people of different races playing the same character in different casts unless it's a specific racial story (West Side Story, for instance)
      From there, it's mostly that the outfit and exaggerated costume design of a stage character needs to be where things stay consistent because the actor is there for exaggerated mannerisms and vocal acting with their face being a less of a factor than movies which have close ups and audiences getting close looks at the face."
      So in terms of a stage show, it's less that she has to look like "Betty Boop come to life!" and more that the costume has to be that with her moving in the ways that Betty does to bring life to said costume.

        Maybe, but given the small but very powerful "betty boop is black" people. I'm not so sure. And broadway has been getting more into dumb racial politics.

        In any case, she looks good enough. If she can sound like her, then all's good.

          They're only powerful in your head. The people who actually care to pay to go to musicals would not care if she was black or not.

            The literati who make up the production and blogging and marketing side of the theatre scene, and will show this musical for black history month absolutely care.

            PBS made this fricking claim and you dare try to say it's all in my head? What bullshit.

      Also true.
      I can only hope that she was a good fit rather than some political bs that these gays want to show how much of an ally to the black community they are.

      Mostly misinformation. Obviously there were some black performers like Esther Jones that embodied flapper aesthetic in the 20s, but Betty herself was modeled after a white performer. PBS tried to create drama and Fleischer’s family had to come out with indisputable proof so they backtracked and admitted to publishing a fake history timeline. Pretty disgusting.

      It's over 90 percent bullshit, on par with most of what you see about the Tulsa riots.

      Now the part that IS true is that there were similar black jazz singers, and that a lawsuit was filed on behalf of one who claimed to be boop's inspiration, but that's really as far as it goes.

      Consider how black people are portrayed in cartoons of that era, and how big a deal coal black was.

          Be less of a racist bigot anon. Pull up the trial evidence. Show Esther Jones in 1931 or so and compare her to Betty Boop of 1931

    It unironically does, OP. Or at least it's a whole lot better than Halle "Eyes on the Sides of my Head" Bailey playing Ariel.

    Either way, I could care less about who plays the Boopster as long as she looks, acts, and sounds the part. What I really want to know is if she'll be doing any lewd scenes.
