An almost perfect new classic!
"I booked the show listening to the album for the first time. The classic sound, and over the top performances did not disappoint!
While it’s vulgar in some spots (teenagers should be fine with very huge smirks), the innuendos and staging is just impeccable.
You should go to the show if -
You like the feel of a new story with a classic, Broadway-esc feel.
Want to experience a beautiful, theater built over 100 years ago.
Things to consider -
The seats are not staggered, so keep that in mind as I had a very tall person in front of me. You might want to think about booking closer or further behind just for that reason alone. Be warned.
All in all, a great show, in a great theater with a lot of energy, a compelling story and some tunes to keep you singing for hours to come afterward!

You will see things you have definitely not seen before
"The scenery and costumes for many of the numbers are nothing short of spectacular. Come for entertainment, but don't expect a deep message. Dialogue is fast paced and witty and I imagine the songs were too, but we could not understand most of what they were saying. ENUNCIATE! There are two special effects/stunts (not sure WHAT I was seeing) that justified the ticket price on their own. "

Improves upon the 1992 film
"I loved the changes made to the original story. It’s also easy to see why this show won the Tony for costume design. We saw a show featuring Kaleigh Cronin in the role of Madeline and it’s hard to imagine anyone doing it any better. Michelle Williams is simply fantastic. I could watch her sing the alphabet and it would be riveting. The second half of the show did drag a bit, but it bounced back by the end."

Not Your Mother's Movie
"Well staged. The costumes and dance routines were terrific. The dialogue asides were witty though often I felt behind.
I enjoyed it very much but it was decidedly more R rated than PG-13. At some points I felt it was unnecessarily crude. "

Flashy, Funny, Fun. CAMP!
"Super campy, with a big beautiful Broadway budget. The whole theater was laughing from the slapstick and stinging quips. This is the ultimate campy Broadway musical. See this if you're into super impressive costumes, choreo, sets, and singing.
However, the music is definitely the weak point. The songs are very well performed, but are mostly unmemorable in terms of lyrics and orchestration. I think only two songs are going to make it into my playlist. Additionally, I think the book could have used a little work. No, you don't need to watch the movie before; I went in blind and understood everything.
You're going to have a good time. You're going to get a bang for your buck. This show is definitely worth seeing, but you don't have to put it at the top of your list."

A fun entertaining show
"If you need a good laugh, buy tickets right now. Megan Hilty is perfect! The sets are amazing. The stunt doubles did things I didn’t know were physically possible. The only thing that kept me from giving it five stars is that some of the humor was too vulgar for my taste and I would certainly not recommend it for children. But adults will love it. "

A good time
"The show was funny - great comedic timing. Michelle Williams was excellent and sounded wonderful. My group didn't love the singing. Sometimes the words weren't always articulated. But because the characters were over the top - I am assuming it was because they were fitting their characters. The special effects were fun. There are sexual jokes - but I didn't find it too sexy for my 13 year old - but it was on the line. All in all we had a great time and would tell people to see it. "

Good but not quite great.
"Let me first start with the fact that the show was very entertaining. I do not have regrets for having seen it. The acting, singing and dancing were all great and the choreography used the stage effectively to create a spectacle and the show was laced with excellent humorous moments. The reason I called it good but not great is that none of the music really felt big or memorable. The songs were forgettable almost as soon as they were over. "

3 Stars - But worth seeing
"Great talent despite Megan’s unexpected absence. Her understudy (Debbie?) was very good and was spitting image of Meryl Streep’s Madeline in the movie. Jennifer was my favorite - she played a great Helen - and of course Stefan was fantastic.
If you loved the movie you’ll appreciate the show. Not quite 5 stars for me though. A bit campy and jokes sometimes forced - but considering the subject matter it’s acceptable. Not really appropriate for children imo. Give it a try and see for yourself! "

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.
