 The Original Broadway Cast Recording of Death Becomes Her Is Here—and It’s Drop-Dead Hilarious

If you’ve seen Death Becomes Her on Broadway, you already know: it’s outrageous, over-the-top, and savagely funny. Now, the experience is available to stream anytime, anywhere. The Original Broadway Cast Recording of the new musical comedy is available now on all streaming and digital platforms, with CD and vinyl editions on the way this summer.

The 24-track album—released by Concord Theatricals Recordings—captures the full force of the musical’s razor-sharp wit and vocal powerhouse cast, led by Megan Hilty (Madeline Ashton), Jennifer Simard (Helen Sharp), Christopher Sieber (Ernest Menville), and Grammy winner Michelle Williams (Viola Van Horn).

Produced by Grammy winners Sean Patrick Flahaven, Scott M. Riesett, and the show’s composer-lyricists Julia Mattison and Noel Carey, the album delivers the same dark sparkle that’s been earning raves from critics:

“★★★★ Savagely funny. Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard make musical-comedy magic that never gets old.” – Time Out New York

“Wildly entertaining. A perfect musical comedy.” – Deadline

“A cheek-aching laughter rollercoaster… The most fun night out on Broadway.” – The Daily Beast

 

On the night of its release, the cast and creative team gathered for a celebration at VERS NYC, complete with a special performance by Luxx Noir London and the first full listen of the album.

The Story

Based on the cult-classic 1992 film, Death Becomes Her follows Madeline, a self-obsessed actress, and Helen, a bitter author, as their decades-long feud turns deadly—and then undead—after they both drink a mysterious potion promising eternal youth. The result? A musical comedy about vanity, revenge, and what really lasts after death.
