Death Becomes Her, the Broadway musical adaptation of the 1992 film, will close its Broadway run at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on June 28, 2026 after not recouping an estimated $31.5 million capitalization; the production played 20 months, with about 650 performances and roughly 900,000 tickets sold, and earned 10 Tony Award nominations. A multi-year North American tour will launch this September, beginning in Cleveland at Playhouse Square, continuing the show’s life beyond Broadway.

The Edinburgh Fringe-originated piece, which invites audience participation and follows a man who lists “brilliant things” to lift his suicidal mother’s spirits, earned two Tony nominations (best play revival and lead actor) and has been praised for Radcliffe’s energetic, earnest performance as one of the season’s top-grossing plays.
