‘Death Becomes Her’ Broadway Review: Megan Hilty & Jennifer Simard Shine In Life Force Of A Musical


Deadline's Broadway review of the musical 'Death Becomes Her.'

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you,” Viola sings (backed up by her ever-present chorus of “immortals” attired by costume designer Paul Tazewell in stunning flesh-toned body suits tattoo-striped with glittery, purple swirls). Sieber gets his own big number with a drunken, falling-apart bit of desperation called “The Plan,” while Williams, whose sinewy R&B pop vocals are pleasing even without the assured belting capacity of her costars, gets her best moment in the slinky “Don’t Say I Didn’t (Warn You).” Title: Death Becomes Her Venue: Broadway’s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre Director/Choreographer: Christopher Gattelli Book: Marco Pennette Music: Julia Mattison & Noel Carey Cast: Megan Hilty, Jennifer Simard, Christopher Sieber and Michelle Williams, with Marija Abney, Lauren Celentano, Sarita Colon, Kaleigh Cronin, Natalie Charle Ellis, Taurean Everett, Michael Graceffa, Neil Haskell, Kolton Krouse, Josh Lamon, Sarah Meahl, Ximone Rose, Sir Brock Warren, Bud Weber, Ryan Worsing, and Warren Yang Running time: 2 hr 30 min (including intermission)
