Jennifer Simard is nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical.
Did you know that Death Becomes Her is Jennifer Simard's ninth Broadway show? She made her Broadway debut in 2007 as a replacement in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Three Tony nomnations later, she's one of Broadway's most beloved character actresses.
"This show came so unexpectedly in my life, and it really fast-tracked to Broadway from the time I started. What has made it so special is the A-List talent across the board," she told BroadwayWrold's Richard Ridge. "I am only made better by their contributions. Working with the best in the business has been the most special."
