Braving rain and chilly temperatures in New York City, the cast belted out the lyrics: “If you want perfection, take a sip and drink it in. Kill your old complexion. Welcome to your brand new skin.”

The former Destiny’s Child singer posted video of the performance on her Instagram page and congratulated the musical’s cast.

“Woo hooooooo! We did it y’all!!!” she captioned the video. “It was pretty invigorating in that cold rain too!”

The post was filled with comments congratulating Williams.

“You (and everyone) looked gorgeous!!! Happy Thanksgiving! Thankful for you!” one Instagram user wrote.

“Another amazing performance!! Broadway Becomes You!!!” someone else shared.

“Michelle you ATE! Even in the rain! So in awe of you so lucky to stand beside you in this show it’s a dream!” added Williams’ castmate Michael Graceffa.

Based on the 1992 film by the same name, Death Becomes Her follows two friends-turned-enemies who take a potion giving them eternal life.

Tony Award nominees Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard lead the cast. Williams co-stars as Viola Van Horn.

The musical opened at New York’s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on Nov. 21.

With their performance in Thursday’s parade, the cast sang and danced in front of a TV audience of millions.

Last year’s parade, which included performances by Cher, Brandy, and the Alabama A&M University marching band, was watched by 28.5 million viewers on NBC and Peacock, as previously reported.
