Death Becomes Her musical opens in Chicago with Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard revitalizing the 1992 Meryl Streep Classic


More than 30 years after the original film classic hit theaters, Death Becomes Her has become a new musical.

The original movie was also renowned for its advances in visual effects, showing Meryl Streep turning her head completely backwards and a huge hole in Goldie Hawn's stomach. 'As Helen plots revenge and Madeline clings to her rapidly fading star, their world is suddenly turned upside down by Viola Van Horn, a mysterious woman with a secret that’s to die for,' the description reads. 'After one sip of Viola’s magical potion, Madeline and Helen begin a new era of life (and death) with their youth and beauty restored… and a grudge to last eternity,' the description concludes.
