*Michelle Williams will make her Broadway return this summer with the musical “Death Becomes Her.”
According to Black America Web, the singer portrays Viola Van Horn in the production based upon the 1992 feature film that originally starred Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, and Isabella Rossellini (who played Viola).
Williams has starred in a number of theatrical musicals over the years, including “Aida,” “Chicago” “Fela!” and “The Color Purple.”
“I remember the very first time I hit a Broadway stage in 2003, in Aida,” Williams told the Chicago Defender. “And so, it’s amazing. Every couple of years, I find myself in an amazing Broadway production.”
Williams said taking on the role of Viola Van Horn is “kind of scary because Isabella Rossellini was dynamite in her portrayal. And I’m hoping to hear from her. I just reached out to her the other day, like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ I need to reach out to her just to get some advice or tips or just to pay my respects and love on her and let her know how excited I am to follow her. So yeah, I’m pretty thrilled about it.”
The superstar told the Chicago Defender that “… it’s fun to play a role opposite of how I am in real life.”
“Death Becomes Her” runs from April 30 to June 2 before the production heads to Broadway, according to Black American Web.
