The opening night of Death Becomes Her on Broadway brought the ladies of Destiny’s Child together for a group reunion. Both Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland showed up at New York City’s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre Thursday night (Nov. 21) in support of Michelle Williams‘ performance as Viola Van Horn in the musical.
Beyoncé posted on Instagram twice on Saturday, and both posts were full of pictures and clips from attending the Broadway show, which also stars Megan Hilty (as Madeline Ashton), Jennifer Simard (as Helen Sharp) and Christopher Sieber (as Ernest Menville). Death Becomes Her is a musical adaptation of Universal Pictures’ 1992 film of the same name, a dark comedy led by Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, Bruce Willis and Isabella Rossellini.
“My Belle,” Beyoncé captioned a series of photos from her evening seeing Williams in Death Becomes Her.
In a variety of photos, fans get a glimpse at the Broadway star looking gorgeous on opening night, the ladies posing with Beyoncé’s mom (Tina Knowles) and holding each other’s hands, the Broadway production’s playbill, stage shots from the the theater and more.
Bey’s other post shared similar moments from the special night, but was set to Cowboy Carter‘s “II Most Wanted,” in which Beyoncé sings, “I’ll be your shotgun rider ’til the day I, ’til the day I die.”
Williams saw the sweet post and commented, “I try not to cry too early in the day BUT……. My sisters 4ever!”
Last month, Williams lamented being unable to join Beyoncé and Rowland at Kamala Harris’ rally in Houston ahead of the 2024 election while busy in previews of Death Becomes Her.
“I was so happy [for Beyoncé and Kelly],” she said in an appearance on the Sherri show. “It was the first time that I have not been able to be in person for something that I wanted to be at … It’s a sacrifice that we make [being] on Broadway.” Williams said she watched the rally later and loved that her Destiny’s Child bandmates “represented and held me down in their own way.”
The trio released their last studio album together, Destiny Fulfilled, 20 years ago. The set debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard charts in November 2004.
