Michelle Williams on Returning to Broadway With ‘Death Becomes Her,’ Her Tony Snub and Beyoncé’s Backstage Visit
The former Destiny's Child member may not be a Tony nominee this year, but in her estimation, she still has plenty to celebrate.
The former member of Destiny’s Child is back on Broadway for the first time in seven years, originating the role of the mysterious mystic Viola Van Horne in Universal’s new adaptation of the campy, macabre 1992 movie comedy “ Death Becomes Her.” Earlier this month, “Death Becomes Her” racked up ten Tony nominations, tying with “Maybe Happy Ending” and “Buena Vista Social Club” for the most nominated show of the year. In 2018, Williams stepped into the Tony-winning Broadway revival of “Once On This Island” — and just two weeks later was forced to exit the show, on doctor’s orders, to receive treatment for depression. So she’s enjoying every minute of it, bonding with her cast and welcoming guests backstage including Isabella Rossellini, who played the movie’s version of Viola, and Michelle Williams, the Emmy-winning actress who shares the same name.
