About
The Tiny Desk concert series featured a performance by the cast of the musical "Death Becomes Her," the stage adaptation of Robert Zemeckis' cult classic 1992 film. The concert had Julia Mattison and Noel Carey guiding the audience through the macabre world they helped create, with notable songs like "If You Want Perfection," "Don't Say I Didn't (Warn You)," "Tell Me, Ernest," and "Alive Together."
The musical "Death Becomes Her" is based on the film and follows a darkly comedic tale of a love triangle and immortality, with standout performances by Megan Hilty, Jennifer Simard, and Michelle Williams. The show received positive reviews during its original run in Chicago and later on Broadway, with particular praise for the cast's comedic timing and chemistry, especially Hilty and Simard.
