10 Tony Award® nominations including Best Musical!
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.
Time Out New York raves, “4 STARS! Death Becomes Her is savagely funny,” and Deadline declares it’s “wildly entertaining — a perfect musical comedy.” 2025 Tony nominees “Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard are two theatrical masterminds giving hilarious star turns” (The New York Times). Grammy® winner Michelle Williams is “irresistibly fabulous” (TheaterMania), and “Christopher Sieber stops the show” (Time Out New York). Based on the classic 1992 film and directed and choreographed by Tony Nominee Christopher Gattelli, Death Becomes Her is “a laugh-filled, tuneful musical to die for” (Variety) and “the most fun night out on Broadway!” (The Daily Beast)
"This was our family's very first experience at a Broadway show, and it was absolutely exhilarating! From the moment the curtains rose to the final bow, we were completely captivated. Even when two cast members had their understudies take the stage, they delivered flawless performances that kept the energy high. It was a phenomenal experience!"

"This show was fantastic. I loved it. My 13 year old daughter really enjoyed it. The jokes are rather “mature” but I think they generally went over her head. The sleight of hand tricks were great. "

Broadway at Its Absolute Best
"The talent, energy and chemistry of the cast elevated an already stratospheric level of story, music, costumes, choreography, set . . . . If you can only experience one Broadway production during your visit to New York, make it Death Becomes Her. "

LESLIE C from WOODSIDE on May 3, 2025
A great musical comedy.
"I found myself under the spell of the actors and dancers from the moment the show started. The songs and the actors performances were amazing. The only small criticism I may have is that the amazing dancers sometimes distracted from the main characters performance. I would recommend seeing the show to everyone."

Completely delighted
"Having watched the movie many times we were greatly impressed with the rewrite for the stage. The stars were remarkable. We like to sit close and our center stage 5th row made the interaction remarkable.
The surprise opening was brilliant."

To die… of laughter
"The stage adaptation of Death Becomes Her is a riotous resurrection of the cult classic, packed with killer one-liners, show-stopping performances, and enough camp to raise the dead. The sound effects were hilariously timed (you’ll never hear a neck crack the same way again), and the lightning design? Positively electrifying—like Zeus doing drag. This production doesn’t just breathe new life into the story…it immortalizes it. Truly legendary!"

Unstoppable laughter! Michelle Williams was AMAZING!! Even my husband left the theater in love with the show. A small spoiler: you will have the songs in repeat for like a week!!"

The vocal talent is astounding, the comedic timing is genius, and the ensemble makes sure you always have something intriguing to watch while they’re onstage.
