The stage musical adaptation of the classic film “Death Becomes Her” is set to open on Broadway this fall, featuring a cast led by Tony nominees Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard.
The musical, which is currently premiering in Chicago, will make its Broadway debut at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre with previews starting October 23, leading up to an official opening night on November 21. The Chicago premiere is scheduled to run from May 19 to June 2 at the Cadillac Palace Theatre.
The musical brings back Hilty and Simard in their acclaimed roles as Madeline Ashton and Helen Sharp. These characters, immortalized by Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn in the 1992 film, are frenemies whose quest for eternal youth through a magical potion leads to unexpected and humorous complications.
