Critics Say
Death Becomes Her

Critics largely embrace this campy musical adaptation as a hilarious crowd-pleaser that improves on the 1992 film, with standout performances from Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard and dazzling production values delivering pure escapist fun.

Chicago

Critics hail this stripped-down revival as wildly entertaining and pulse-racing, with top-flight performances bringing fresh vitality to Kander and Ebb's dark musical about celebrity and crime.
