Death Becomes Her on Broadway

Madeline Ashton is the most beautiful actress ever to grace stage and screen, just ask her, and Helen Sharp is the long-suffering author who lives in her shadow. They have always been the best of frenemies, until Madeline steals Helen's fiance. As Helen plots revenge and Madeline clings to her fading star, their world is upended by Viola Van Horn, a mysterious woman with a secret that is to die for. One sip of Viola's magical potion restores their youth and beauty, and begins a new era of life, death and a grudge to last eternity.

The Tony Award-winning musical comedy plays at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, with direction and choreography by Tony winner Christopher Gattelli. Reimagined from the cult 1992 film, it has been called a wildly entertaining musical comedy by Deadline and savagely funny by Time Out.
