Megan Hilty Reveals Hilarious On-Theme Note Meryl Streep Gave Her Ahead Of ‘Death Becomes Her’ Broadway Debut: “I’m Dead”

Megan Hilty revealed the hilarious on-theme note she received from Meryl Streep ahead of her 'Death Becomes Her' Broadway debut.

Death Becomes Her opened on Broadway Thursday night, with Deadline’s review calling it “a virtually perfect big-budget, broad-appeal musical comedy that improves in every way over the 1992 film.” Hilty stars opposite Jennifer Simard in the adaptation led by director-choreographer Christopher Gattelli. The original satire additionally stars Bruce Willis as the somewhat moot point of the triangle also featuring Madeline and Helen, aka the former’s husband and latter’s ex-fiancé, as well as Isabella Rossellini, the mysterious svengali-like potion-seller Lisle Von Rhuman. While the David Koepp and Martin Donovan-penned movie was a box office success upon its release, it didn’t hit its stride as a consumer favorite until its embrace as a cult classic by the queer community for its campy humor.
