Betty is an alternative pop / rock band from New York City.
BETTY was formed in 1986 in Washington D.C. around the scene of the 9:30 Club.
The band is composed of Elizabeth Ziff , Alyson Palmer and Amy Ziff .
In 1989, the band relocated to New York City. The name of their first album, Hello, BETTY! comes from the standard opening for all their appearances.
BETTY appeared in every episode of the 1989 HBO series Encyclopedia, singing educational songs each centered on a particular word, as well as performing the opening and closing theme songs.
In 2002, the group starred in its own off-Broadway show BETTY Rules directed by Rent's Michael Greif. The musical ran for nine months at the Zipper Theatre. The show has since been performed in Chicago at the Lakeside Theatre and sold out three runs at Theater J in Washington, D.C.
