Absolutely fantastic!!
"This was a last minute booking for us as we were unexpectedly spending time in NYC. As a lover of the film we thought we would give it a chance, I am so grateful that we did. I have seen many shows and this is by far THE BEST I have ever seen. Everything was timed to perfection. Last minute Megan Hilty wasn’t able to perform and I aren’t sure of the ladies name who stepped in for her, but she was the best in the show. I am hoping this comes to the UK so I can book tickets ASAP!! "

New favorite show….
"I absolutely loved this show. It was silly, fun entertainment. The actors were spectacular, the costumes unsurpassed, the sets were gorgeous and the music was phenomenal. I guess the only show that is kind of similar that I can think of is Legally Blonde the musical (I saw it 5 times) From my perspective the stair scene alone was worth the price of the ticket. Still trying to figure out how they did the stunt… "

Now a Warning, You'll Be Obsessed with This
"Death Becomes Her is one of my favorite comfort movies of all time so I knew I absolutely had to see the musical. This show has quickly become one of my top 3 favorite shows ever, in fact, I've seen it now 3 times between October and now January. Between the stellar knock-out cast, humor, costumes, set, I just cannot pinpoint a single bad thing about this show. The pacing was great, placement of songs were great, I just loved it all. I most definitely will be coming back again for at least a 4th time!"

SO MUCH FUN
"Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard absolutely crush it!! They sing their faces off and have the audience laughing at every turn (and there are a lot of turns). This is a show you don’t want to miss, especially if you can see those two! The music was brilliantly written by Julia Mattison. This show is sure to become a classic hit across the country. "

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.
