“Death Becomes Her,” the musical adaptation of the 1992 cult film, is scheduled to close on Broadway at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on Sunday, June 28, after a run of roughly 20 months and 650 performances. The production has been regarded as effects-heavy and has drawn strong interest during parts of its run, though its weekly box-office performance reportedly declines in recent months from earlier peaks. Multiple outlets report that the show does not recoup its reported $31.5 million capitalization. After its Broadway finale, the musical is set to begin a North American tour, extending the production beyond New York. The show’s run and tour plans are also framed as part of the broader 2024–2025 Broadway season, where it had been one of the higher-earning titles earlier on. Deadline and Variety both describe June 28 as the closing date and cite the show’s financial results, while Variety also specifically notes the tour following the Broadway end.
