Death Becomes Her

Death Becomes Her plays the Buell Theatre from May 25 to June 6, 2027, as part of its North American tour. It's a Tony-winning musical comedy about Madeline Ashton, a celebrated actress, and Helen Sharp, the long-suffering writer living in her shadow. Their rivalry turns deadly when Madeline steals Helen's fiancé, and the two are later undone by Viola Van Horn, a mysterious woman whose magical potion restores their youth and beauty along with their grudge.

Behind the scenes, the production is directed and choreographed by Tony winner Christopher Gattelli, with direction by Jerry Ruiz. The scenic design is by Raul Abrego, costumes by Raquel Barreto, lighting by Carolina Ortiz Herrera, sound by Melanie Chen Cole, and projections by Alex Basco Koch and John Erickson. Time Out called it "savagely funny," and The Daily Beast described it as "the most fun night out on Broadway."

It's recommended for mature audiences, with suggestive sexual humor and strong language. The show runs about two and a half hours with a twenty-minute intermission, so you'll want to leave enough time to get to the Buell and back. The run starts May 25 and goes through June 6.
