“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).
"The singing was amazing, the cast was witty and outstanding. Great lives, songs and energy. Loved this. "

Delightful and Witty
"When I go to NYC for a Broadway musical I want it to feel like a Broadway Musical extravaganza! This does not disappoint! Great costumes, great choreography, great sets, very talented dancers and the main characters had beautiful, strong voices. This was an amusing show. Great lines, very funny. I do think it will get several Tony nominations."

A good adaptation but a slightly different take than the movie.
"The performers was good, dance routines were creative and the storyline was well adapted for the stage. Music was good but sometimes a bit difficult to hear all of the words. In general, I was not disappointed. "
