"A lot of hard work and money is on obvious display at the Lunt-Fontanne for the new musical "Death Becomes Her." Highlights include strong singing and comedy chops from the first-rate cast, tight and energetic dancing from the chorus, and probably the greatest stand out--amazing acrobatic choreography (the staircase scene is hard to forget). The score is good but would not say there is a Broadway standard level tune that you will be humming later. All and all, definitely worth your money to see!"

Death becomes her only on broadway
"The cast, set, script and music was absolutely amazing. It was the best show I have seen in years. The movie was brought to life in a well written dark comedy for Broadway. It kept the audience engaged and the laughter was non stop. All I can say is it’s brilliant and get tickets to see the show for a night you’ll never forget. "

Had to muffle my laugh
"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!"

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.
