Broadway is about to get a dose of dark comedy and supernatural intrigue with the new musical adaptation of Death Becomes Her. Based on the 1992 cult classic film directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, and Bruce Willis, the stage adaptation promises to bring the same mix of humor, fantasy, and biting satire to the Great White Way.

The story centers around the rivalry between Madeline Ashton, a fading actress, and her former friend Helen Sharp, both of whom become entangled in a plot involving an immortality potion that has some unexpected and hilarious side effects. Themes of vanity, obsession with youth, and the consequences of eternal life are at the heart of the story—wrapped in the style of a dark comedy.

With a dazzling creative team behind the production, Death Becomes Her features a book by Marco Pennette and music and lyrics by Julia Mattison and Noel Carey. The show's visually stunning design will include innovative set pieces and special effects that capture the supernatural elements from the film.

This highly anticipated musical adaptation is already generating buzz with fans of the original movie and Broadway enthusiasts alike. The show made its world premiere in May 2024 at the Cadillac Palace Thatere in Chicage to glowing reviews. Expect a night of laughs, drama, and a dash of the macabre as Death Becomes Her takes the stage with preview performances starting October 23 and an official opening on November 21, 2024.
