With the many entertainment choices New York City has to offer, it can be difficult to decide what to see. Look no further. “On Stage” host Frank DiLella has curated a list of must-see shows this week, guiding you to the best of Broadway, off-Broadway and beyond.
“Death Becomes Her”
The film to stage transfer of “Death Becomes Her.” The musical centers around frenemies — stage diva Madeline Ashton and writer Helen Sharp. On screen, Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn went face to face as the leading ladies on Broadway. It’s 2025 Tony Award-nominees, Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard. This week on “On Stage,” host Frank DiLella sat down with the divas from “Death Becomes Her.”
“Megan and I have to stop ourselves sometimes from laughing. We just look at each other and talk with our eyes, and you can see when we want to giggle, but we don’t,” Simard said.
“HA HA HA HA HA HA HA”
On the off-Broadway front, down at The Public Theater, don’t miss
Julia Masli’s solo show — “HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.” Billed as a completely different show every night, Masli takes theatergoers on a wild ride that’s heavily based on audience participation. The critically acclaimed show runs through June 29.
Bridget Everett and The Tender Moments at Joe’s Pub
Also at The Public at Joe’s Pub, don’t miss Bridget Everett, now through June 26. Everett will perform her in your face comedy and serenade you with original tunes, all while drinking from a bottle of chardonnay.
