Death Becomes Her Comes to Columbus's Ohio Theatre
Death Becomes Her, the hilarious new Broadway musical based on the cult classic 1992 film, arrives at the Ohio Theatre in Columbus as part of its national tour. This darkly comedic spectacle follows the story of two longtime rivals who discover a magical potion that promises eternal youth — only to find that living forever comes with some spectacularly messy consequences. Featuring a sharp, witty book, original songs, and show-stopping visual effects that bring the film's iconic moments to life on stage, Death Becomes Her has quickly become one of the most talked-about new musicals on Broadway and on tour.
The Ohio Theatre stands as one of the most magnificent performance venues in the Midwest. Opened in 1928, this beautifully restored movie palace features ornate Spanish-Baroque architecture, a grand chandelier, and seating for approximately 2,779 patrons across orchestra, mezzanine, and balcony levels. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Ohio Theatre delivers an experience that matches the grandeur of any Broadway house, with excellent acoustics and sightlines that make every seat a premium viewing location. The historic setting adds an extra layer of glamour to Death Becomes Her's over-the-top theatrical spectacle.
Death Becomes Her's Columbus engagement offers multiple performance dates, including evening and matinee shows. The musical has earned praise for its inventive staging, laugh-out-loud humor, and jaw-dropping practical effects that must be seen to be believed. Whether you are a fan of the original film or discovering the story for the first time, the stage adaptation delivers a fresh, outrageously entertaining experience that stands entirely on its own.
The Ohio Theatre is located at 39 E State Street in downtown Columbus. Fans can reach the venue via I-70 or I-71 to the downtown exits. Parking is available in multiple nearby garages including the State Street Garage and various surface lots within walking distance. The COTA bus system provides public transit access, with multiple routes serving the downtown area. Columbus's vibrant Short North Arts District and Arena District are nearby, offering excellent pre-show dining and entertainment options.
