“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).
"I didn't want the show to end! It was hilarious, witty, and served up all the classic moments from the movie. I was starstruck with Megan Hilty, Jennifer Simard, Christopher Sieber, and Michelle Williams who are true masters of their craft!"

Totally entertaining
"This show hit on all levels. Great acting, singing, dancing, costumes, sets, and special effects. The story was fun and entertaining. I wouldn't recommend it for children due to the adult and sexual content in much of the show."

Nothing Short of Hysterical
"This show was one of the best ways to spend a Friday night. I was smiling or laughing for pretty much the entire show! The cast is absolutely phenomenal and it’s clear they are having so much fun telling this story. 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. The costumes and sets were GORGEOUS, the lighting phenomenal, and special effects were mind blowing. 10/10 would recommend to a friend and would see again!"

Death Becomes Her is a must see!
"Death Becomes Her was a surprising delight. The songs were incredible and the jokes even more so. We laughed from the opening number to the last scene. Wonderful songs. Wonderful singers
However, the theater left a lot to like. The seats were small and uncomfortable and large men or women would certainly not fit well"
