Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest at ninety five years
of age.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Betty Boop is having a moment, with her popularity seemingly
bigger than ever and her hit Broadway show Boop the
Musical making waves. It's hard for anything in pop culture
to stay relevant for nearly a century, but jazzmin Amy Rodgers,
who stars as Betty and the Musical, thinks the cartoon
icon has endured because she speaks to the female experience,
no matter when you were born.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
She found a way to represent women in the way
that we've always been and continue to be. Women are
so powerful and so exciting and capable of so many things,

figures that way that represent that for us, and so
I think that's why she's managed to stand the test
of time. And she's frickin' adorable. I mean, how could

Speaker 2 (00:45):

it Tony nomination for Best Lead Actress in a Musical.
If you want to hear at work, the Boop the
Musical soundtrack is out now.
