“The most fun night out on Broadway!” – The Daily Beast
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.” “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). Death Becomes Her, based on the classic 1992 film, is “a laugh-filled, tuneful musical to die for” (Variety).
"Very entertaining! Beautiful costumes! Wonderful set! Very entertaining for my husband and I and 38 year old daughters!!"

"The concept is intriguing. The script is hilarious. The acting is superb. The music was top notch. And the scenery design and lighting deserve awards for being amazing.
The actors all had excellent singing voices and enunciation that let us enjoy the whole performance and not wonder what they were saying.
We try to go to as many shows as we can when we come to NYC to visit family. This show was so good that we brought our adult son to see it the next day. Come to see it yourself. You’ll have bragging rights when the Tony winners are announced. "

"The show was very interesting, the set was colorful, and the acting was superb! I was apprehensive that the show would capture the magic of the big screen but delivered in every way! I was wondering if the murder scenes would be conveyed accurately and again the show knocked it out of the park. Not only was the story capitating it was jam packed with humor to boot. "

"I absolutely loved the show and the entire cast was fantastic. I did bring my teen daughter with me who also loved the show. Not sure if younger children should see the show due to some of the adult content but this show was definitely a must see."

"I didn’t even know this show was running. I hadn’t heard about it. Took a chance and man was that the right decision. I laughed the whole show through. The practical effects which are obvious are part of the humor. Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard are amazing in battling diva roles. Michelle Williams is a diva in her own right and Chistopher Sieber played the lone male lead to protection. A must see, even if on a whim. "

"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!"
