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.

More About Death Becomes Her
Here is why we at Broadway Inbound think it's a perfect show for groups:
Death Becomes Her is an exuberant new musical that captures the essence of the iconic 1992 film while adding a Broadway twist that's simply irresistible. Picture a stage filled with dazzling costumes, melodious tunes, and a plot that keeps the audience roaring with laughter. Clever dialogue and show-stopping performances make for a fun, whimsical experience that's as endearing as it is ridiculous.
The show has made a smashing entrance on the Broadway scene with panache and pizzazz, praised by The Guardian as a “rousing, raucously entertaining hit.” It has quickly become a fan favorite for its vibrant energy and a slew of standout performances. The creative duo of Julia Mattison and Noel Carey have wrapped up the show in a collection of killer songs that hilariously play with show tune conventions while still giving them the appreciation they deserve. With Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard at the helm, joined by Tony® winner Christopher Sieber and Grammy® winner Michelle Williams, the show is as glamorous as its lead characters aspire to be. The show has everything from sharp humor to a sprinkle of magical absurdity, ensuring a night of laugh-out-loud moments for both Broadway aficionados and newcomers.
