About this performance

Program: Death Becomes Her (musical).

Death Becomes Her brings the cult classic 1992 film to Broadway in a darkly comic musical adaptation. The story follows two rival women, Helen and Madeline, whose obsession with youth and beauty leads them down a supernatural path involving a mysterious potion that promises eternal life. This wickedly funny tale explores themes of vanity, mortality, and the lengths people will go to for immortality, wrapped in sharp wit and spectacular theatrical magic.

Expect a campy, over-the-top theatrical experience that balances humor with genuine emotional moments. This musical appeals to fans of dark comedy, supernatural themes, and shows that don't take themselves too seriously. The production features elaborate costumes, stunning visual effects, and performances that embrace the material's inherent absurdity while delivering genuine laughs. Newcomers will find it accessible and entertaining, while theater regulars will appreciate the clever adaptation and Broadway-caliber performances.

The Lunt-Fontanne Theatre provides an ideal setting for this larger-than-life production. Located in the heart of the Theater District on West 46th Street, this historic venue has hosted numerous hit musicals since opening in 1910. With 1,500 seats across three levels, the theater offers excellent sightlines and acoustics that enhance the show's comedic timing and musical numbers. The venue's classic Broadway atmosphere adds to the overall experience of seeing a brand-new musical finding its footing on the Great White Way.
