Death Becomes Her

Death Becomes Her plays Jackson Hall at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center from November 3 to 8, a six-day run in Nashville. It's the Tony Award-winning musical comedy based on the 1992 film, with direction and choreography by Tony winner Christopher Gattelli.

The story follows famous actress Madeline Ashton and her best frenemy Helen Sharp, who go too far thanks to a mysterious woman named Viola Van Horn and a secret potion. It's a dark comedy about vanity and rivalry that takes the movie's premise and puts it on stage with music and dance. The show has picked up a fair amount of praise along the way: Variety called it "a laugh-filled, tuneful musical to die for," and The Daily Beast described it as "the most fun night out." The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, and Time Out have also weighed in, and Goldie Hawn and Beyoncé are among the fans.

There are plenty of options for when to catch it. Tuesday, November 3, through Friday, November 6, all start at 7:30 PM. Saturday, November 7, has a 2:00 PM matinee and a 7:30 PM evening show. Sunday, November 8, has a 1:00 PM matinee and a 6:30 PM evening performance. If you're bringing a group of 10 or more, you can save up to 10% and get reduced handling fees. The Sunday afternoon show also includes open captioning, ASL interpretation, and audio description.
