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.

Starring Tony Award® nominees Megan Hilty (Wicked, “Smash”), Jennifer Simard (Company, Disaster!), and Christopher Sieber (Spamalot, Company), with Grammy® Award winner Michelle Williams (Destiny’s Child, Chicago), Death Becomes Her, based on the classic 1992 film, is a drop-dead hilarious new musical comedy about friendship, love, and burying the hatchet…again, and again, and again.

Life’s a bitch and then you die. Or not!

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Death Becomes Her

Review: ‘Death Becomes Her’ camps it up in pre-Broadway Chicago run
7 / 10

Act one was pretty bullet-proof. Tight pacing, hilarious dialogue, and they nail the big moments. It ends with the stairs (which is staged BRILLIANTLY) and I was very satisfied during intermission. Special shout out to the writers for ridding of the infamous fat-shaming suit bit with Goldie Hawn in the movie too. I really like the direction they took with Helen’s downfall. Act two definitely needs some tweaking before Broadway.

Review: DEATH BECOMES HER at Cadillac Palace
7 / 10

Some work is needed before the Broadway opening, though. Given the show features two antagonists who cannot die (and are thus, are without end,) the show fizzles out. “There is No Finale” (the show’s final number) is a bit too on the nose. It’s a funny sentiment, but it leaves you wishing for something bigger and grander.
