Prelude

[ Featuring Death Becomes Her Original Broadway Cast ]

[VIOLA VAN HORN]

Dull, glowless skin

Waddling turkey necks

Sagging, shapeless breasts

And that's just the front row

What if I told you

I have the ability to restore your youthfulness and beauty

For eternity?

If You Want Perfection
by Michelle Williams

        [ Featuring Death Becomes Her Original Broadway Cast ]
    

I have a secret you would die for 
I know a fix you won't believe 
Here's your exclusive invitation 
And once you're in, you'll never leave 
Yes, I can sense you have immense potential 
You just haven't found it yet 
Don't be scared, don't abscond 
Take my body as my bond 
What you see is what you get 
 
If you want perfection 
Take a sip and drink it in 
Kill your old complexion 
Welcome to your brand new skin 
 
Don't shield your eyes from all this beauty 
My clients love it when you stare (ooh) 
Come take a look at every perfect limb (ah) 
You'd never know that flaws once festered there (ooh) 
We reject the loss that time is bound by (ooh) 
I select the ones who I set free (ah) 
They come to Viola Van Horn (ah) 
Where beauty is reborn 
 
If you want perfection (and who doesn't?) 
Take a sip and drink it in 
Kill your old complexion 
Welcome to your brand new skin 
 
Wouldn't you just die to look so alive? 
Perfection at your fingertips 
The second that it hits your lips 
A little touch of magic 
In a world obsessed with science 
 
For those who'll pay the price 
What would you sacrifice for 
Fame? (I'll take it) 
Freedom? (I'll take it) 
Sex? (take it) 
Money (I'll take it) 
Repentance? (take it, take it) 
Retention? (take it, take it) 
Acceptance (take it, take it, take it, take it) 
Ascension? (take it, take it, take it) 
For power or potential? 
For attention or revenge? 
 
If you want perfection 
Take a sip and drink it in 
Kill your old complexion 
Welcome to your brand new skin 
 
I have a secret you would die for

For The Gaze
by Megan Hilty

        [ Featuring Mary Mitchell Campbell ]
    

Why is a girl like me 
Sitting here in this chair, combing her hair 
And painting her face in the chase 
To stay young and beautiful? 
Is it the fact that I'm attracted 
To each kernel of external validation 
In a world that keeps me insecure 
To sell me needless crap? 
Or is it something new? 
Would you believe it to be true 
That I'd do it all for you? 
For that glimmer in your eye? 
For your gaze? 
 
I'd trade my fortune for the chance to be 
Enveloped in that special way you glance at me 
I feel like I can have it all the moment that I fall into that gaze 
The look of recognition in your eyes 
Is all it takes to have me hooked and hypnotized 
It's the feeling of pure ecstasy to be seen the way that I see me 
Yes, everything I do is for the gaze 
 
I'll do an outfit change, I'll do a twirl 
I'll do just about anything to be your girl 
I'll cause a scene to make you stare 
I'll take the trip from here to there 
While serving Cleopatra on a chaise 
I'll give you choreo and legs for days 
I'll go one step beyond and give you grad jetés 
I'll be your tiny dancing queen 
Your Judy, Gaga, Cher, Celine 
I'll option up on certain matine-yeah-es 
But only for the gaze 
 
Ooh, she won't go quietly 
Or be ignored (it's true) 
Be careful if you push her, she'll go overboard (splish splash) 
With every move we love her more 
We love her 'cause she does it for the gays 
 
I'm just a twenty something ingenue 
Babbling before you, begging for your praise 
Please love me, give me the gaze, the gays love me 
I need the gaze, the gays love me 
The gays love me, the gays love me 
The gays love me 
 
Oh, it's the greatest gift, the greatest love 
The greatest love to get to be a member of 
 
'Cause if you ask me when push comes to shove 
It's for the gaze (it's for the gays, it's for the gays, it's for the gays) 
Forgive me if I'm coming on too strong 
I just want to be loved and feel like I belong 
That's why I wear this little gown and sing this little song 
It's for the gaze (it's for the gays, it's for the gays) 
I'd do anything for (she'd do anything for) 
We all know that this whole damn show is for 
The gaze (all for the gays, the gays) 
Anything for the gaze (gays)

That Was Then, This Is Now
by Jennifer Simard

        [ Featuring Christopher Sieber ]
    

[HELEN:] 
Did you see her when she saw us? 
I could feast on that for days 
She was jealous, green with envy 
When I said "My fiancé" 
So delicious, so addicting 
So we're going back for more 
I think we just had us 
A change in status 
 
She used to send me spiralling into a hopeless place 
But now I get to shove my happy love life in her face 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Wait, I thought she was, like, your oldest friend 
 
[HELEN:] 
Oh, she is, I love Mad 
Love her like a twin who stole my nutrients in the womb 
 
But that was then, this is now 
Now my shitty life is better 
And Madeline's old tricks have lost their shine 
She'd play games, call me names 
But this time I won't let her 
I'm through with her petty scheming 
I no longer wake up screaming 
That was then, this is now 
Now I've got your arms around me 
And I can finally laugh at all the pain, ha-ha 
Now I'm healed, even-keeled 
Now that Ernest Menville's found me 
My boring old willow tree 
Whose eyes only pine for me 
I love you 
 
[ERNEST:] 
I love you 
 
[HELEN:] 
You're my person 
 
[ERNEST:] 
That's right, dear 
 
[HELEN & ERNEST:] 
Forever and always and true 
 
[HELEN:] 
She'll choke when she sees 
How loved I am by you 
 
You make me feel like a queen 
In my sweatpants and old underwear 
You let me wear my retainer 
And CPAP machine, you don't care 
You don't care that I give up on dreams 
'Cause I'm too scared to try 
Or that ads from the SPCA make me cry 
That I spend most my life chasing friends 
Who forget that I'm there 
 
That was then, this is now 
Now I've made a transformation 
And Helen Sharp will never be the same 
I've got you, you've got me 
And I'm on new medication 
The future is finally clear 
The future I want is here 
I love you 
 
[ERNEST:] 
I love you 
 
[HELEN:] 
You're my person 
 
[ERNEST:] 
That's right, dear 
 
[HELEN & ERNEST:] 
Forever and always and true 
 
[HELEN:] 
Who cares about all my old boyfriends she stole 
That won't happen this time 'cause I'm in control 
I found my true love and I finally feel whole 
It's all in the past, I won't dwell in 
'Cause everything's coming up Helen now

Tell Me, Ernest
by Megan Hilty

        [ Featuring Death Becomes Her Original Broadway Cast, Jennifer Simard ]
    

So tell me, Ernest, what would you do to me? Aesthetically? 
A lift, a tuck, a freeze, a suck, some filler in the chin? 
 
Oh, goodness, no 
 
No, really, tell me, Ernest, if you had your way with me 
Medically, are we talking face, chest, thighs, breasts? 
Oh, God, I don't know where to begin 
What about the vein on my leg? 
I stressed it out from doing squats on the reg 
Do you have time on Tuesday to squeeze me in? 
 
I told you, Ernest doesn't really do that 
 
But she's a friend, Tuesday's doable 
 
Mm, doable, huh? 
So, tell me, Ernest, how much have you seen of me, cinematically? 
The roms, the coms, the rom-coms, the dramas, the dramedies, the straight-to-DVDs 
No, really, Ernest, how often have you watched me? 
 
Uh, sporadically 
 
What? 
 
I really liked the one where you were fighting with a sword 
 
Oh, 'Thrust' 
 
That was her first Razzie award 
 
You know I did all my own stunts 
I only injured all of my co-stars once 
Now swordplay foreplays one of my specialties 
We need another bottle 
I must be boring you senseless 
I'm just so thrilled that you both are here 
Treat her well, I haven't seen Hel this happy in years 
 
Well, here, here 
 
Thank you, Mad, that's sincere 
 
Cheers 
I'm so glad we did this 
 
Well, this has been so much fun, but oh, gosh, look at the time 
 
Oh, please, you don't have anywhere else to be 
Our Helen, always worrying 
But tell me, Ernest 
How's Helen in the sack? 
 
Mad 
 
Just curious 
I've known this girl for twenty years 
And never have I ever heard her make a uh-uh-woah 
 
Hey 
 
Oh, lighten up, Ernest 
 
We should be heading back 
 
Uh-oh, she's furious 
Come on, now 
You know I'm just having fun 
Ooh, we've only begun 
A toast to friends for life 
That's right, you're stuck with me, Ernie 
Thank your wife 
 
Well, it's been fun, but we gotta go 
I think I'm done, gotta hit the road 
 
I must be boring you senseless 
 
Oh, we must be boring you 
 
I'm just so thrilled that we're out of here 
We should do this again 
 
How's next week? 
 
How's next year? 
 
Cheers, cheers 
 
I'm so glad 
 
So glad 
 
So f*cking glad

So many hearts around (In tutto il mondo) 
The world this summer in Space Jam 3. (Questa estate in Space Jam 3)

With my solemn, sacred vow 
I promise I will love you 
I promise I won't leave you 
I'm yours forever now 
'Til death

Madeline
by Marija Abney

        [ Featuring Jennifer Simard ]
    

[COUNSELOR:] 
How are you doing today, Helen? 
 
[HELEN:] 
This is my string 
 
[COUNSELOR:] 
I see that 
You were quiet in therapy this morning 
Is there anything you'd like to discuss? 
 
[HELEN:] 
Madeline's been on my mind today 
 
[COUNSELOR:] 
No, Helen 
We're not still talking about Madeline Ashton, are we? 
She's not here 
Let's do a grounding exercise 
Can you name some things that are here? 
 
[HELEN:] 
Piece of string 
Broken chair 
Medicine 
Yummy hair 
Don't look now 
She's right there 
 
[COUNSELOR:] 
Who? 
 
[HELEN:] 
Madeline 
 
[COUNSELOR:] 
No, Helen 
Let's try this again, shall we? 
 
[HELEN:] 
Little scab 
Little cut 
Heavy doors 
Always shut 
Secret time 
Hey, guess what? 
 
[COUNSELOR:] 
What? 
 
[HELEN:] 
Madeline's been on my mind today 
Madeline's haunting my head 
Madeline's spirit won't go away 
Madeline sleeps in my bed 
Madeline keeps me awake at night 
Madeline fills me with dread 
Madeline needs to go far away... 
 
[COUNSELOR:] 
Helen! 
You have to stop this obsession or Madeline Ashton will haunt you forever! 
You must eliminate her once and for all 
 
[HELEN:] 
You're right 
 
[COUNSELOR:] 
Huh! 
 
[HELEN:] 
Madeline needs to go far away 
Madeline needs to be dead

'Til Death
by Christopher Sieber

        [ Featuring Megan Hilty ]
    

[ERNEST:] 
You meet the perfect woman 
And you build the perfect life 
And even when that shatters 
The only thing that matters 
Is, you vowed she'll be your wife 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Ernest! 
 
[ERNEST:] 
'Till death 
 
Have you ever felt a little flicker of regret inside you? 
Isn't it amazing how that flicker of regret can grow? 
So you pour yourself a drink until your brain goes blank, whee! 
That way you don't have to think about who you have to thank: me! 
 
Isn't it a wonder how the choices that you make can haunt you? 
How everything you lost was the cost of your free will? 
And it only took you 10 long years to tell 
That this life you chose is truly worse than hell 
Now there's only time to kill 
'Till death

Tell Me, Ernest (Reprise)

        [ Featuring Christopher Sieber ]
    

[HELEN:] 
Hello, stranger 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Helen 
 
[HELEN:] 
You didn't even come over and say hello 
 
[ERNEST:] 
I know, I just- I didn't wanna put a damper on your night 
All the memories 
 
[HELEN:] 
Ernest, I want you to know I never blamed you 
Madeline's a woman, she pursued you 
What were you supposed to do? 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Well, that is true 
 
[HELEN:] 
It feels good to get that off my chest 
I really wish you both the very best 
It was never meant to be between me and you 
I must be boring you senseless 
I'm just so glad that you both could come 
It's truly lovely to see the kind of man you've become 
 
Whoopsie, did I just say "come" twice? 
Cheers 
I'm so glad we did this

Falling Apart
by Megan Hilty

        [ Featuring Lauren Celentano, Ximone Rose, Michael Graceffa, Michelle Williams ]
    

[WOMAN 1:] 
Is that Madeline Ashton? 
 
[WOMAN 2:] 
How much wine have you had? 
She looks old enough to be Madeline Ashton's mother! 
 
[MADELINE:] 
I can't breathe 
God, I need a Xanax 
An avalanche of Xanax 
Help, the sky is spinning 
 
Hel is here looking like a model 
How did she... 
God, I wanna throttle 
Her perfect little reconstructed neck 
The industry deserts me 
She did this to hurt me 
Now that plain brunette says I look old enough to be my own... 
My own... 
My own mother! 
 
What is this godforsaken twilight zone? 
Gotta get my agent on the phone 
I gotta fix! 
Wait- Hel- Ernest... 
All my life, Helen was at best a 4 
Now she's glowing in Dior 
Meanwhile my tits are on the floor 
 
Oh, god, it's all falling apart! 
Oh! 
 
How- why- they- just... 
I'm a two-time Oscar-nominated actress, damnit! 
Now I'm out of practice, damnit! 
Why does no one want me? 
I'm still here, ready as I've ever been 
But my skin is drooping down, I can't have cameras zooming in! 
 
I gotta nip, and tuck, and fill, and freeze 
And Restylane the lips and Juvederm the knees 
Fix the bits, lift the tits, try to hide the scars 
Still, it all keeps falling apart, oh! 
Oh... 
 
All I wanted was a simple life 
Someone to hold at night 
While my husband sleeps downstairs 
The kind of fame that makes you scared to go outside 
A sassy butler who's on call 
Tiny gowns because I'm small 
 
And that sweet, enchanting feeling of knowing 
That everything I did made Helen jealous! 
 
[CHANCE:] 
Do you have your ticket, ma'am? 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Ma'am? 
I'm a goddamn ingenue! 
Do you know who you're talking to? 
I am, quote: 
"Madeline Ashton, a stunning delight in an otherwise disappointing franchise" 
End quote! 
 
And who are you? 
 
[CHANCE:] 
Chance 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Let me tell you something, Chance 
I hope you enjoy being young and a man in Hollywood, because I have to sleep upside-down every night like a bat just to give my body a break from gravity! 
You smug, weak, young, smooth, supple, youthful skin! 
Give it to me... give me your skin! 
Oh, I don't want to hurt you, I just want your skin! 
 
Must stop time 
Gotta get the years erased 
Gotta get a brand-new face 
Madeline stop! Pull yourself together! 
Ugh! 
Where is Ernest? 
Bet he's under Helen's spell 
If he still loves her, just as well! 
Go get her, Ernest! 
Go to Hel! 
You never loved me anyway 
Who even loves me anyway? 
 
[VIOLA:] 
Rejuvenation awaits you 
 
[MADELINE:] 
I will not disappear 
I'll show them I'm still here 
I will not break or fade to black 
I swear I'll make my comeback 
Wrinkled, wrinkled, little star 
Remind them who the f*ck you are 
Madeline Ashton will not fall apart!

Siempre Viva
by Michelle Williams

        [ Featuring Megan Hilty, Death Becomes Her Original Broadway Cast ]
    

[VIOLA:] 
The rush of applause 
The tingling of admiration 
The feeling of being adored in your prime is through 
You're out of time 
For gravity's kiss is pulling you down 
You're losing your youth, it's unfair 
 
[MADELINE:] 
It's a bitch! 
 
[VIOLA:] 
It's a crime 
Look at these hands 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Thank you! 
 
[VIOLA:] 
Such hideous cracks 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Jesus 
 
[VIOLA, IMMORTALS:] 
Your skin has begun to decay 
But I can stop the sands of time in their tracks 
Won't you join me and choose to stay 
Forever young 
Forever fair 
Time beware 
Siempre Viva 
Beauty reborn (One drop, time stops) 
Beauty revived (One drink, don't think) 
Forever alive (You've got one shot) 
Siempre Viva (Siempre Viva) 
 
[MADELINE:] 
What is that? 
 
[VIOLA:] 
What you came for 
 
The secret of youth 
Distilled into sweet perfection 
For those who reject the maturing reflection they see 
My dying star 
As long as I've lived 
I've been careful with my selection 
The few who deserve to be new and preserved 
Just like me 
Look at my hands, so young and pure 
Each feature is perfectly placed 
 
[VIOLA, IMMORTALS:] 
Look at my ass (Look at that ass!) 
I hold the cure 
Give in to your desire 
Have a taste (One drop, time stops) 
Forever fair (One drink, don't think) 
Time beware (You've got one shot) 
Siempre Viva (Siempre Viva) 
Beauty reborn (One drop, time stops) 
Beauty revived (One drink, don't think) 
Forever alive (You've got one shot) 
Siempre Viva (Siempre Viva) 
 
[VIOLA:] 
Hold out your hand 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Ow! What the hell? 
Oh, I'm getting out of- woah 
Venmo okay? 
 
[VIOLA:] 
There's also the tiny matter of my contract 
This little secret we share must never become public 
 
[CHAGALL:] 
You can stay in the spotlight for 10 years... 
 
[IMMORTAL 1:] 
10 years of unchanged beauty... 
 
[IMMORTAL 2:] 
But then you must disappear from view forever... 
 
[IMMORTAL 3:] 
As to not arouse suspicion... 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Wait, only 10 years, and then no more autographs? 
No more stalkers? 
I love those guys... 
 
[VIOLA:] 
But think of those 10 glorious years: 
Movie offers, premieres, tabloid scandals 
You will be a star again! 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Let's do it! 
 
[VIOLA, IMMORTALS:] 
Forever young (One drop, time stops) 
Forever fair (One drink, don't think) 
Time beware (You've got one shot) 
Siempre Viva (Siempre Viva) 
Your life will never be the same (Beauty reborn) 
Drink in your fortune and your fame (Beauty revived) 
Forever and ever, forever! (Forever alive) 
 
Siempre Viva 
Siempre Viva 
Siempre Viva 
Siempre Viva 
Siempre Viva 
Siempre Viva 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Bottoms up!

Let's Run Away Together
by Jennifer Simard

        [ Featuring Christopher Sieber ]
    

[HELEN:] 
Poor baby 
You lonely bastard 
Can't you see how that monster has used you? 
You're not her husband 
You're just a tissue 
One final blow, then she'll throw you away! 
But I got a plan 
And you're the man I know I need, to do it, Ernest! 
I need to do it, Ernest 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Do what exactly? 
 
[HELEN:] 
End Madeline 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Oh 
 
[HELEN:] 
Don't look so scared 
You know you want it 
A simple fix for the years she's abused you 
Then poof, she's gone! 
Bye, Mad, we'll miss you! 
You had fun, now there's hell to pay! 
 
Just do what I do 
And Ernest, dear, I guarantee 
That once she's through 
It's me and you and you and me 
We'll start a new life 
Put "ex" in front of "wife" 
Once Madeline's dead and buried in a ditch 
 
[ERNEST:] 
What? 
 
[HELEN:] 
Let's run away together 
Let's run away and be wild 
Let's build a house in the woods 
I'll forage for goods while you carry my child 
Let's run away together 
Let's leave the madness behind 
We'll hide her corpse without a trace 
I'll change my name, you'll change your face 
'Til everything is perfect 
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Helen, you're acting a little insane 
 
[HELEN:] 
I don't like that word, Ernest 
The only thing that's insane is we haven't spent the last 10 years wrapped in each other's arms because of her 
 
She stole my life 
She made me cuckoo 
She's why I spent 4 years locked in that "Health Spa" 
She took it all 
And left me nothing 
But a penchant for bingeing and rage 
But enough of me! 
You sexy man, tell me how I can convince you, Ernest 
 
[ERNEST:] 
I can't believe we're even- We shouldn't even be talking about- 
 
[HELEN:] 
Sh! 
It will be quick 
Just how you like it 
Zero mess, unless you've got a bonesaw? 
No? 
We'll be precise 
We'll stage a story 
Of an actress cast out for her age 
They'll think she's cracked 
A tragic end for all to see 
Her final act! 
They'll eat it up and we'll be free! 
An innocent pair 
My fingers in your hair 
While Madeline's decomposing in the ground 
 
Let's run away together 
Let's run away to Paris 
Let's go make love in the park 
Eat bread in the dark while you spread me like brie 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Let's run away together! 
 
[HELEN:] 
Zou zou bisou! 
Let's get out now while there's time 
You either stay, and life gets worse 
Or get your balls out of her purse 
And join me to make perfect 
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la 
 
[ERNEST:] 
I am not saying I'll go along with any of this! 
It's barbaric! 
But just out of curiosity- how would we do it? 
 
[HELEN:] 
Well, off the top of my head: 
You could take this Narconol, dust it lightly on her wine glass, she drinks from it, passes out, we drive her up to Mulholland, dump liquor all over her, release the brake, and the next thing you know they're fishing her out of Jack Nicholson's pool. By the time they perform the autopsy, the Narconol has dissolved, leaving only traces of alcohol. She's classified as just another drunk driver, and we walk off into the sunset together! 
Again, just spitballing 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Helen 
 
[HELEN:] 
What? 
 
[ERNEST:] 
I can't 
 
[HELEN:] 
You can 
 
[ERNEST:] 
I can't 
 
[HELEN:] 
You can't? 
 
[ERNEST:] 
I can 
 
[HELEN:] 
You can 
 
[ERNEST:] 
I can 
 
[HELEN:] 
You can 
 
[HELEN & ERNEST:] 
We can run away together! 
Ha-ha-ha-ha! 
 
[HELEN:] 
Let's make our new life begin! 
It's now or never 
Take your pick 
But don't think too hard 
Make it quick 
It's what we have to do! 
'Cause once that bitch is through 
We've won! 
She's done! 
Let's run away! 
Zou zou bisou!

Oh 
 
[HELEN:] 
Don't look so scared 
You know you want it 
A simple fix for the years she's abused you 
Then poof, she's gone! 
Bye, Mad, we'll miss you! 
You had fun, now there's hell to pay! 
 
Just do what I do 
And Ernest, dear, I guarantee 
That once she's through 
It's me and you and you and me 
We'll start a new life 
Put "ex" in front of "wife" 
Once Madeline's dead and buried in a ditch 
 
[ERNEST:] 
What? 
 
[HELEN:] 
Let's run away together 
Let's run away and be wild 
Let's build a house in the woods 
I'll forage for goods while you carry my child 
Let's run away together 
Let's leave the madness behind 
We'll hide her corpse without a trace 
I'll change my name, you'll change your face 
'Til everything is perfect 
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Helen, you're acting a little insane 
 
[HELEN:] 
I don't like that word, Ernest 
The only thing that's insane is we haven't spent the last 10 years wrapped in each other's arms because of her 
 
She stole my life 
She made me cuckoo 
She's why I spent 4 years locked in that "Health Spa" 
She took it all 
And left me nothing 
But a penchant for bingeing and rage 
But enough of me! 
You sexy man, tell me how I can convince you, Ernest 
 
[ERNEST:] 
I can't believe we're even- We shouldn't even be talking about- 
 
[HELEN:] 
Sh! 
It will be quick 
Just how you like it 
Zero mess, unless you've got a bonesaw? 
No? 
We'll be precise 
We'll stage a story 
Of an actress cast out for her age 
They'll think she's cracked 
A tragic end for all to see 
Her final act! 
They'll eat it up and we'll be free! 
An innocent pair 
My fingers in your hair 
While Madeline's decomposing in the ground 
 
Let's run away together 
Let's run away to Paris 
Let's go make love in the park 
Eat bread in the dark while you spread me like brie 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Let's run away together! 
 
[HELEN:] 
Zou zou bisou! 
Let's get out now while there's time 
You either stay, and life gets worse 
Or get your balls out of her purse 
And join me to make perfect 
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la 
 
[ERNEST:] 
I am not saying I'll go along with any of this! 
It's barbaric! 
But just out of curiosity- how would we do it? 
 
[HELEN:] 
Well, off the top of my head: 
You could take this Narconol, dust it lightly on her wine glass, she drinks from it, passes out, we drive her up to Mulholland, dump liquor all over her, release the brake, and the next thing you know they're fishing her out of Jack Nicholson's pool. By the time they perform the autopsy, the Narconol has dissolved, leaving only traces of alcohol. She's classified as just another drunk driver, and we walk off into the sunset together! 
Again, just spitballing 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Helen 
 
[HELEN:] 
What? 
 
[ERNEST:] 
I can't 
 
[HELEN:] 
You can 
 
[ERNEST:] 
I can't 
 
[HELEN:] 
You can't? 
 
[ERNEST:] 
I can 
 
[HELEN:] 
You can 
 
[ERNEST:] 
I can 
 
[HELEN:] 
You can 
 
[HELEN & ERNEST:] 
We can run away together! 
Ha-ha-ha-ha! 
 
[HELEN:] 
Let's make our new life begin! 
It's now or never 
Take your pick 
But don't think too hard 
Make it quick 
It's what we have to do! 
'Cause once that bitch is through 
We've won! 
She's done! 
Let's run away! 
Zou zou bisou!

Confrontation
by Jennifer Simard

        [ Featuring Megan Hilty, Christopher Sieber ]
    

[HELEN:] 
You bitch 
 
[MADELINE:] 
What did you call me? 
 
[HELEN:] 
You heard me 
 
[MADELINE:] 
I see that someone is improving their vocabulary 
 
[HELEN:] 
You think this is a joke? 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Oh dear, is this where you let me have it? 
 
[HELEN:] 
You little traitor 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Keep it going, Helen 
 
[HELEN, MADELINE:] 
You don't scare me 
I never liked you (Oh, please) 
I used to fear you (You needed me) 
But now I see you (Jealous much?) 
You're just a worthless (Oh?) 
Pathetic nothing (That's rich) 
Who ruins everything you touch 
 
[MADELINE:] 
This bit is cute 
Though you could use a few more tears 
Try being mute 
That worked so well for 20 years! 
 
[HELEN:] 
You took everything away 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Don't waste my time 
 
[MADELINE & HELEN:] 
This ends today! 
I'll die before I let you disrespect me 
 
I came here to get what's mine (You can never have my life) 
Come too close and I will break you (You're weak) 
 
Speak to me like that just one more time; I'd like to see you try 
 
Ernest 
Stop! Helen! 
 
[HELEN:] 
This is what she deserves. You vicious, loathsome... 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Ah! 
 
[HELEN:] 
Oh my god 
Oh my god, what do we do? 
What do we do? 
What do we do? 
Oh my god, what do we do? 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Uh, I don't know... 
Check her pulse, is she breathing? 
 
[HELEN:] 
No, Ernest, can't you see? 
Her neck is snapped, her spine is cracked, her leg is- eugh... 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Oh my god 
 
[HELEN:] 
What do we do? 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Let's run away together 
 
[HELEN:] 
Shut up, Ernest! 
Don't be stupid! 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Let's buy a boat in Hawaii and name it "We're Murderers!" 
 
[HELEN:] 
Look, we talked about killing her before, I mean, this is even better than my plan, this looks like a real accident! 
Now, after I go, you call the police and tell them you were in here reading when you heard a terrible scream- ah- and you turned, just in time to see Madeline fall down the stairs... 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Why are you leaving? 
 
[HELEN:] 
I think it may raise a little suspicion if they find your ex-fiancée here with your current wife dead 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Right, right, you're right 
 
[HELEN:] 
You can do it, Ernest, be strong 
Just wait for the police 
As soon as they arrive, they'll assume that she fell 
Then the coroner will take her, and you come to my hotel 
But don't call 
'Cause if you call 
Then the police might come as well 
But if you don't it will be perfect, Ernest 
Everything is perfect, Ernest 
Everything is perfect 
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la la-la-la-la-la 
Why aren't you la-la-ing with me, Ernest? 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Helen, you pushed me down the stairs 
 
[HELEN:] 
It's alive! 
 
[ERNEST:] 
How? What- how... 
 
[ENSEMBLE:] 
Siempre viva 
Siempre viva 
Siempre viva 
Siempre viva 
 
[HELEN:] 
But- Mad! Your neck! It's twisted! 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Ernest, I think I need a doctor 
 
[VIOLA:] 
I have a secret you would die for

Don't Say I Didn't (Warn You)
by Michelle Williams

        [ Featuring Death Becomes Her Original Broadway Cast ]
    

Run, hide, side effects may not subside 
You bought the ticket, you take the ride 
I warned you 
Welcome back, my dear, your second act is here 
Just relax, there's nothing left to fear 
In case you missed it, let me be crystal clear 
Don't say I didn't warn you 
 
You knew how this would go 
Don't waste your time in pretending 
There will be some happy ending 
Put your trust in me, and just enjoy the show 
But don't say I didn't... 
 
Don't dare claim the game was less than fair 
I laid the rules down 
I said take care 
Don't say I didn't warn you 
Don't blame me for your twist 
If you don't like what I sold you 
You should have done what I told you 
Now you can find yourself a physical therapist 
But don't say I didn't... 
 
A lifetime guarantee 
I thought that we agreed 
You take care of your body 
You didn't listen to me 
I wish you understood 
That now you're damaged goods for eternity 
 
Don't say I didn't warn you 
Don't make me take the fall 
You knew the deal, and you blew it 
Your only way out is through it 
So you can get another doctor on call! 
But don't say 
Don't say 
Don't say I didn't warn you 
Don't say I didn't...

Hit Me
by Megan Hilty

        [ Featuring Christopher Sieber, Jennifer Simard ]
    

[MADELINE:] 
Oh, that felt good 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Oh my god 
 
[MADELINE:] 
That felt really, really good 
That was like therapy 
Honestly, what a release! 
 
[ERNEST:] 
That was brutal! You just committed murder! In cold blood! 
 
[MADELINE:] 
You know, you're really ruining my high 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Your... what is the matter with you? 
You are going to get life in prison! 
And that is not good for someone in your condition! 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Except you can't go to prison without a dead body, and we do not have a dead body! 
 
[HELEN:] 
That was rude 
That was pretty f*ckin' rude 
Just look at me, I've been shot 
 
[ERNEST:] 
She's alive! 
 
[MADELINE:] 
And yet she's not 
 
[HELEN:] 
So rude 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Screw you! 
 
[HELEN:] 
I need a doctor 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Oh, do you? 
You're a walking lie 
And I can see right through you! 
 
[HELEN:] 
Come here 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Come here 
 
[HELEN:] 
I wanna wipe that perfect smile off your face 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Come, give this a taste 
 
[MADELINE & HELEN:] 
Come here 
You little rat 
I'm gonna break you 
Tear you to pieces 
 
[HELEN:] 
Stop teasing, bitch, just hit me! 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Wait, wait, wait! 
We're not focusing on the big picture here! 
Why is no one dying? 
 
[MADELINE:] 
It has to be the potion 
 
[HELEN:] 
Oh, you think? 
 
[ERNEST:] 
What potion? 
 
[HELEN:] 
You think it was the spooky magic drink? 
 
[MADELINE:] 
I wish you were dead 
 
[HELEN:] 
Don't lose your head! 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Oh, shut your hole! 
I should've known you took it, too! 
 
[HELEN:] 
I took it years before you! 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Wait a minute, let me try and understand this... 
 
[MADELINE & HELEN:] 
Shut up, Ernest, the women are talking 
We've got this shit under control 
 
[HELEN:] 
Come here 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Come here 
 
[MADELINE & HELEN:] 
I'm gonna have you bagged and dropped in a ditch 
 
[HELEN:] 
En garde, bitch! 
 
[MADELINE & HELEN:] 
Come here 
I'm gonna injure you severely 
Dearly departed 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Stop! 
 
[MADELINE & HELEN:] 
We're just getting started! 
 
[MADELINE:] 
This is pointless, we can't even inflict pain on each other! 
 
[HELEN:] 
Pain? 
You wanna talk pain? 
You wanna talk Bobby, Kevin, Ernest 
And all my other loves you shoved down the drain? 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Oh, please don't act like you're the victim here 
Admit you've called me trash behind my back 
My whole career 
 
[MADELINE & HELEN:] 
You wanted my life 
So you destroyed it 
Admit you enjoyed it! 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Stop! 
 
[MADELINE & HELEN:] 
Ow, yeah 
Hit me! 
Ow, yeah 
Hit me like you mean it 
Do what you will, you still can't kill me! 
 
[HELEN:] 
Slut! 
 
[MADELINE:] 
Whore! 
 
[MADELINE & HELEN:] 
God, that felt good!

The Plan
by Christopher Sieber

        [ Featuring Death Becomes Her Original Broadway Cast ]
    

[ERNEST:] 
Oh, boy 
Alright, here's the plan 
It's the best plan you've ever had 
And you're gonna say the plan right now 
Right now 
 
Step one 
Uh, surgical tools, surgical tools 
We got pliers, clamps, forceps 
You know what? 
Let's just take all of that 
Step two 
Uh, gloves 
Gotta keep clean from the blood 
And if there isn't blood, it's probably 'cause 
They're cadavers, and cadavers don't bleed 
Step three 
Another drink 
You're gonna need another drink to think 
There's a lot going on 
Gotta keep your head on straight, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha 
 
Tools, check, booze, check 
Now go upstairs and reattach that neck 
Then off you go and no one will know 
That the women are dead, but they're alive 
They're dead, but they're alive 
 
Step one 
New step 
Gonna start it with a whole new step 
Step one is a whole new step this time 
So everybody just look out 
Step two 
Ooh, get glue 
Hot glue, superglue, Elmer's 
Something to seal up all the cuts and the cracks 
And the flaps pulled back on the skin 
 
Oh, the skin 
What do I do? 
The two of them are turning blue 
And their makeup won't stick 
So I guess I have to seal that in 
Oh my God, oh God 
Oh, Ernest 
What a mess, oh God 
If this gets in the press 
You'll be cancelled, you'll be shamed 
You'll watch your life go up in flames 
You'll die and desecrate the Menville family name 
No 
 
You're Ernest Menville, damnit 
Surgeon to the stars 
If someone needs a nose, they come to you 
You fix faces, and butts 
You sew lacerations and cuts 
So what's the difference with a big ol' hole 
That, Jesus Christ, you can see right through 
 
Clay 
You need clay 
You need clay to fill the hole in the lady 
"That's a good idea" 
Well, thank you, friend 
You ain't so bad yourself 
Okay 
Next step 
Uh, what do we got, what do we got 
We got Mod Podge, Mod Podge 
"Acrylic Sealant Spray" 
Ooh, pray spaint, I mean spray paint 
You just need a little spray paint 
It's thin, it'll stick to the skin on its own 
And it comes in a variety of flesh-colored tones 
 
Oh my god, I think I did it 
I don't know if I did, but I really think I did it 
A little airbrush here, shadow there 
Basic care to the nails and hair 
A quick shellac for the wear and tear 
And wham, yes 
 
You're Ernest Menville, damnit 
Surgeon to the stars 
You gave Cher the cheeks she has today 
You fix boobies, and necks 
You graft the fat, and they write the check 
So who's to say you can't Bob Ross 
A little zombie decay, huh? 
 
You're Ernest Menville, damnit 
Surgeon to the stars 
The steadiest hands in all of L.A., ha-ha-ha-ha 
Who's capable and confident 
At a towering six-foot-three 
Ernest Menville, M.D. 
 
[ENSEMBLE:] 
Ernest 
Menville 
Ernest 
Menville 
Ernest 
Menville 
Ernest 
Menville 
Ernest 
Menville 
Ernest 
Menville 
 
[ERNEST:] 
You're Ernest Menville, damnit

[ERNEST:] 
Oh, boy 
Alright, here's the plan 
It's the best plan you've ever had 
And you're gonna say the plan right now 
Right now 
 
Step one 
Uh, surgical tools, surgical tools 
We got pliers, clamps, forceps 
You know what? 
Let's just take all of that 
Step two 
Uh, gloves 
Gotta keep clean from the blood 
And if there isn't blood, it's probably 'cause 
They're cadavers, and cadavers don't bleed 
Step three 
Another drink 
You're gonna need another drink to think 
There's a lot going on 
Gotta keep your head on straight, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha 
 
Tools, check, booze, check 
Now go upstairs and reattach that neck 
Then off you go and no one will know 
That the women are dead, but they're alive 
They're dead, but they're alive 
 
Step one 
New step 
Gonna start it with a whole new step 
Step one is a whole new step this time 
So everybody just look out 
Step two 
Ooh, get glue 
Hot glue, superglue, Elmer's 
Something to seal up all the cuts and the cracks 
And the flaps pulled back on the skin 
 
Oh, the skin 
What do I do? 
The two of them are turning blue 
And their makeup won't stick 
So I guess I have to seal that in 
Oh my God, oh God 
Oh, Ernest 
What a mess, oh God 
If this gets in the press 
You'll be cancelled, you'll be shamed 
You'll watch your life go up in flames 
You'll die and desecrate the Menville family name 
No 
 
You're Ernest Menville, damnit 
Surgeon to the stars 
If someone needs a nose, they come to you 
You fix faces, and butts 
You sew lacerations and cuts 
So what's the difference with a big ol' hole 
That, Jesus Christ, you can see right through 
 
Clay 
You need clay 
You need clay to fill the hole in the lady 
"That's a good idea" 
Well, thank you, friend 
You ain't so bad yourself 
Okay 
Next step 
Uh, what do we got, what do we got 
We got Mod Podge, Mod Podge 
"Acrylic Sealant Spray" 
Ooh, pray spaint, I mean spray paint 
You just need a little spray paint 
It's thin, it'll stick to the skin on its own 
And it comes in a variety of flesh-colored tones 
 
Oh my god, I think I did it 
I don't know if I did, but I really think I did it 
A little airbrush here, shadow there 
Basic care to the nails and hair 
A quick shellac for the wear and tear 
And wham, yes 
 
You're Ernest Menville, damnit 
Surgeon to the stars 
You gave Cher the cheeks she has today 
You fix boobies, and necks 
You graft the fat, and they write the check 
So who's to say you can't Bob Ross 
A little zombie decay, huh? 
 
You're Ernest Menville, damnit 
Surgeon to the stars 
The steadiest hands in all of L.A., ha-ha-ha-ha 
Who's capable and confident 
At a towering six-foot-three 
Ernest Menville, M.D.

Stefan's Turn
by Josh Lamon

Fired? 
Twenty-six years of service, and it's over? 
Just like that? 
 
I'm free 
No more bribing paparazzi 
No more picking up her pills 
No more missing my own birthday to clean up liquor spills 
I smuggled every drug for you 
I paid off pool boys not to sue 
And now I get to do what's right for me 
 
I'll get a book deal and retire 
When my NDA expires 
Call my lawyers and tell them 
I'm free 
 
And all your passwords are "bitch", bitch

'Til Death (Reprise)
by Christopher Sieber

[ERNEST:] 
Then I guess this is where it ends for me 
I'm sorry for the pain and the stupidity 
I just wasn't made for eternity 
I'd rather die 
 
[MADELINE:] 
You don't know what you're saying 
You can't leave us 
 
[HELEN:] 
I'm already falling apart 
 
[ERNEST:] 
I met the perfect woman 
 
[HELEN:] 
We were never perfect, Ernest 
 
[ERNEST:] 
And I've ruined both our lives 
 
[MADELINE:] 
I was pretty perfect, just saying 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Now look at all the ugly things we've done 
We've had our fun 
But this, I can't survive 
So, goodbye 
 
[MADELINE & HELEN:] 
Why? 
 
[ERNEST:] 
Why fight time 
And deny yourself a life that ends? 
I would gladly rather die than outlive all my friends 
I'd rather lose my keys 
Lose my faculties 
Then, finally, succumb to some old man disease 
How lovely that will be 
To know mortality 
'Til my final breath 
'Til death

No

Alive Forever
by Megan Hilty

        [ Featuring Jennifer Simard ]
    

Hey, Helen 
 
What? 
 
I think I'm your person 
 
Oh, no 
 
Admit it, Helen 
You need me 
 
Oh, God 
 
You like me 
 
I'd like you to stop 
 
You love me 
Enough time has passed, let's swallow our pride 
And try this again with time on our side 
'Cause through all the years of fighting 
The baiting and switching 
The bitching and biting 
I've never stopped thinking of you 
Isn't that what people who found each other's person do? 
 
So that was then 
This is now 
I can fix your peeling 
Wow, that's bad 
And I know that there are things we can't undo 
But you've got me, and I've got glue 
If we're doomed to walk the earth 
Maybe I can walk with you 
And Hel, for what it's worth I'm sorry too 
What? What did I do? 
 
I can't believe you 
You finally said it 
I never thought you'd budge, I swore 
Mad, I forgive you, can we forget it? 
'Cause I don't have the core strength 
To hold on to grudges anymore 
You make me crazy 
 
Thanks for the praise 
 
You're a narcissist 
 
Well, more sadistic, Hel 
 
But here's my cold heart, on display 
 
Hold, I've got something to say 
 
I know we're toxic 
 
Yes, very toxic 
 
But as the clocks tick, I realize 
 
As time goes by 
 
I'd rather be miserable with you and I won't go away 
I'll paint your ass 
I'll help you stay alive forever 
Alive even after the world of regard is gone 
When you need your face redrawn 
You don't have to fear 
I'll be here, now until forever 
It would be healthier to leave you 
And no longer be friends 
'Cause our hatred escalated into murder 
But I don't have the heart to grieve you 
So can we start again? 
 
Look at you 
 
Look at you 
 
No, look at you 
 
Okay, let's look at me 
 
We can face eternity 
Just you and me, both damned to be 
Alive, forever 
Alive 'til the stars fade away in an endless night 
If I can't find the way, I'll follow your light 
 
By your side 
 
By your side 
 
We'll survive 
 
We'll survive 
 
Still alive 
 
Still alive 
 
Still alive 
Forever 
And ever 
Alive 
Forever

When I fell, I broke my coccyx 
And they had to fuse my spine 
I spent a year in rehab 
In emotional decline 
And then an angel came to me 
And nursed me back to life 
Patient and forgiving 
The reason I'm still living 
She's my friend, my sweetheart, my wife 
I love her 
She's my person 
Forever and always and true

Back to: Death Becomes Her

Death Becomes Her Info:

(buy at amazon.com)

Death Becomes Her is a musical, with a book by Marco Pennette and music and lyrics by Julia Mattison and Noel Carey. It is based on the 1992 film of the same name directed and produced by Robert Zemeckis. It made its world premiere in May 2024 at the Cadillac Palace Theatre in Chicago, and moved to the Broadway's Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in November 2024.

The original Chicago and Broadway productions received mostly positive reviews by theatre critics, with Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard receiving universal praise for their comedic timing, chemistry, and performances.

In December 2017, a Broadway musical adaptation of Death Becomes Her was reported to be in development, with Kristin Chenoweth tapped to star. The book is written by Marco Pennette and has an original score by Julia Mattison and Noel Carey.

Notably, the character of Lisle von Rhuman, originally portrayed by Isabella Rossellini in the film, was changed to Viola Van Horn, portrayed by Michelle Williams. When asked about the decision making behind the change, Williams said she did not know what caused the change, but stated that there were some plot elements in the production that may hint at the reason.

In May 2024, the producers announced their plans to have the musical begin performances at Broadway's Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on October 23 of that year, with an official opening scheduled for November 21. Joining the producing team for the Broadway transfer were Marc Platt (in his first stage producing collaboration with Universal since Wicked), Debra Martin Chase and Steven Spielberg alongside his wife Kate Capshaw.
