"This was such a funny show! I had my coat over my mouth to hear what they were saying while I was laughing! The talent was insane! Special effects incredible! That being said, there were 2 Fbombs, adult humor and scantily clothed performers. That's why I wouldn't take kids to it. But i am taking my husband!"

Vanity at its best.
"Death Becomes Her has to be one of the top 5 best musicals I have ever seen. Acting, singing dancing, principals and ensemble are excellent. You can feel that this group gets along well together and their energy showed that. Megan and Jennifer are a hoot? It is funny, salty full off special effects with over the top fun. Chris Sieber does an amazing number where he proceeds to get drunk while preparing to patch up the girls and and it is hilarious and amazing. Michelle Williams is enchanting. Overall this show is just plain fun poking fun at the ever real issues with aging and society pressure on staying young looking. Special effects are fun along with he witty dialog and double meaning lines. Don't hesitate go see this show and have some fun."

About
Death Becomes Her
Madeline Ashton is the most beautiful actress (just ask her) ever to grace the stage and screen. Helen Sharp is the long-suffering author (just ask her) who lives in her shadow. They have always been the best of frenemies…until Madeline steals Helen’s fiancé away. As Helen plots revenge and Madeline clings to her rapidly fading star, their world is suddenly turned upside down by Viola Van Horn, a mysterious woman with a secret that’s to die for.
After one sip of Viola’s magical potion, Madeline and Helen begin a new era of life (and death) with their youth and beauty restored…and a grudge to last eternity.
Now a warning! You may not be ready for the unbelievable amount of comedy, glamour, and magic onstage at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. Death Becomes Her is a “wildly entertaining, perfect musical comedy. It grabs the audience by the jugular and doesn’t let go” (Deadline). With direction and choreography by Tony winner Christopher Gattelli, Death Becomes Her is “a laugh-filled, tuneful musical to die for” (Variety) and “a cheek-aching laughter roller coaster — the most fun night out on Broadway!” (The Daily Beast). Experience the “savagely funny” (Time Out) pop-culture phenomenon that’s been certified “hilarious” by The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Z100, Beyoncé (!!), Goldie Hawn, Superman aka David Corenswet, Michelle Williams (the other one), and countless fans on Instagram, TikTok, and beyond. See it now, and laugh for eternity.
