The star-studded Broadway opening of ‘BOOP!’ was a night to remember, especially for renowned music producer David Foster, who was joined by a very special guest. Gigi Hadid, the daughter of Foster’s ex-wife Yolanda Hadid, was there to support him at the launch of the new musical production featuring original songs composed by Foster himself.
The event, which took place on Saturday, April 5, marked a family affair as Gigi Hadid, along with her siblings Bella Hadid and Anwar Hadid, showed up to support their former stepfather. David Foster, a sixteen-time Grammy Award winner, was married to Yolanda Hadid from 2011 to 2017, and their relationship was often featured on the reality TV show ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’.
Gigi Hadid took to her Instagram Stories to share her excitement about attending the Broadway opening of ‘BOOP!’, writing, “NYC. BOOP HAS LANDED. AND SHE’S MAJOR,” alongside photos from the production. She also shared a post from makeup artist Patrick Ta, showing the show’s Playbill, captioned “DATE NIGHT.”
Also in attendance at the star-studded affair were David Foster’s wife, Katharine McPhee, and three of his daughters – Amy S. Foster, Sara Foster, and Erin Foster – along with his granddaughter. David has a total of six children, including daughters Allison Jones and Jordan Foster, as well as his youngest son Rennie, who was born in February 2021.
Despite the divorce between David Foster and Yolanda Hadid, Gigi has maintained a close relationship with the Foster family, as revealed by Erin Foster during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. Erin shared that Gigi had messaged her expressing interest in watching Erin’s Netflix series, highlighting the strong bond between the siblings.
‘BOOP!’ marks David Foster’s first Broadway show, a project that he has been working on for over 15 years. The musical, centred around the iconic cartoon character Betty Boop, features a score with lyrics by Susan Birkenhead and is directed and choreographed by Tony winner Jerry Mitchell.

The show also stars renowned actors like Faith Prince, Ainsley Melham, and Erich Bergen, among others. Tickets for ‘BOOP! The Musical’ are now available for purchase, promising a delightful and entertaining experience for Broadway-goers.
