"Death Becomes Her" is Becoming Dead :/

Death Becomes Her is closing on Broadway this weekend, and to mark the occasion, Jackie (@jackiemaroney_) is joined by her sister Lauren, a DBH super fan who has seen the show FOURTY THREE TIMES?!?!?! (and counting... she's not about to miss closing weekend, of course).
