David Foster Teases Potential BOOP! Tour In Conversation with Jasmine Amy Rogers

Boop: The Musical could be taking its technicolor tale on the road! To celebrate the show's cast recording, the show's breakout star, Jasmine Amy Rogers joined composer, David Foster for a conversation on the show's Instagram.

When asked by a fan whether she will be heading out on tour in her Tony-nominated role, Jasmine responded, “Touring takes a lot out of you, and I think I’m ready to explore different avenues outside of it. Betty, though, is someone I hope to stick with forever. She’ll always be with me. But I don’t think I’ll be coming to you on tour.”

Though neither officially confirmed the tour, Foster added, "We'd love to have Jasmine on the road. But it opens the possibility of finding another Jasmine. You know, if that exists. In fact, somebody that's just, you know, hopefully as amazing as Jasmine was."

Jasmine went on to highlight what makes the role so special: “A big part of Betty, and what makes her so loved, is that she represents so much of so many different women. It’s exciting to think about who could be the next woman to step into those shoes.”

BOOP! The Musical played its final performance on Broadway on Sunday, July 13.
