The musical premiered in Chicago, Illinois, running from November to December 2023, with Jasmine Amy Rogers starring in the title role. Boop! began preview performances on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre on March 11, 2025, and opened officially on April 5. Reviews were mixed-to-positive. It was nominated for 11 Drama Desk Awards, the most of any 2025 production, winning 3, and was nominated for three Tony Awards.
