Death Becomes Her, the new musical adaptation of the 1992 comedy fantasy film, worked up some Broadway magic in its second week since beginning performances at the Lunt-Fontanne, grossing an impressive $1,073,018 for seven previews and filling 98% of the venue’s seats.
The musical, starring Megan Hilty, Jennifer Simard, Christopher Sieber and Michelle Williams, was by far the most popular among the slate of previewing productions, with other newcomers mostly falling short of the 80%-of-capacity mark:
In all, Broadway’s 36 productions grossed $32,939,767 for the week ending November 3, about a 3% drop from the previous week, with total attendance of 285,801 holding steady.
Season to date, Broadway, in the 24th week of the 2024-25 season, has grossed $751,471,960, up about 11% over last year at this time, with total attendance of 6,116,620, up about 10%.
