Fading actress Madeline Ashton and overlooked author Helen Sharp have always maintained a tense friendship—until Madeline steals Helen’s fiancé. As their rivalry spirals into obsession, the mysterious Viola Van Horn enters the picture with a supernatural solution: a magical potion that promises youth, beauty, and immortality. What follows is a wickedly comedic tale of revenge, vanity, and the absurd costs of living forever.

Adapted from the 1992 cult classic film, this new Broadway musical stars Megan Hilty (Smash, 9 to 5 the Musical) as Madeline and Jennifer Simard (Company, Hello, Dolly!) as Helen, with Grammy® winner Michelle Williams (Destiny’s Child, Chicago) as Viola Van Horn and Christopher Sieber (Shrek the Musical, Spamalot). The production is directed and choreographed by Tony Award® winner Christopher Gattelli (Newsies), with a book by Marco Pennette (Ugly Betty) and an original score by Julia Mattison and Noel Carey.

Balancing high-gloss glamour with sharp-edged satire, Death Becomes Her brings new life (and death) to Broadway in a musical comedy packed with theatrical flair and elaborate visuals.

Death Becomes Her received 10 Tony Award® nominations in 2025, including Best Musical, Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical for both Megan Hilty & Jennifer Simard, Best Direction of a Musical & Best Choreography for Christopher Gattelli, Best Scenic Design of a Musical, Best Costume Design of a Musical, Best Lighting Design of a Musical, Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score.
