Video: How Jennifer Simard is Drawing From Her Broadway Career in DEATH BECOMES HER Role

In Death Becomes Her, Jennifer Simard feels like she is right where she is supposed to be. The Tony-nominated performer is currently starring as Helen Sharp in the hit musical, a role that she feels is an amalgamation of her whole career.

"I feel like every scenelet of Helen is a bit of a Horcrux of every role I've ever played in New York City," said Simard on a recent visit to The Kelly Clarkson Show. "I have to play so many different layers and colors and so it's just a joy to bring her to life... I have this wonderful archive of every sort of character I've ever done in one person." 

Also on the talk show appearance, Simard shared an embarrassing moment during the original production of I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change when she broke wind onstage. "The audience heard it, my co-stars heard it, and then we all realized at the same time that they were gonna have to march in and put my peach right between their faces after the event."

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.
