"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). They discuss what kept Lauren coming back to the Lunt, unpack and compare Madeline performances of Megan Hilty and Betsy Wolfe, and debate if the musical could have had a longer run if both leads had been replaced at the same time. Death Becomes Her will be alive forever in our hearts xoxox rip we'll miss you :( Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
