It’s a comedy about a musical: get Smash tickets and see the stage adaptation of the hit TV series come to life on Broadway. A fan favorite and cult classic, Smash on NBC ran for only two seasons but had a lasting impact on viewers. Catapulting Katharine McPhee and Megan Hilty to fame, the show burned bright, and burned fast, but cemented its legacy with infectious music and behind-the-scenes drama. Now, it comes to Broadway in a thrilling production based on the story and characters of the beloved Emmy Award-winning and Grammy Award-nominated musical series.
Smash on Broadway features an all-star team: Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson has joined the producing team after winning a Tony Award for also producing Pulitzer Prize winner A Strange Loop, and musical theatre writing icons Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray, Tony Award) wrote the score. Rick Elice and Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone, Tony Award) wrote the book, and Susan Stroman (The Producers, Tony Award) directs this production. Joshua Bergasse, who won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography for the television series, returns to Smash to choreograph the Broadway version.
As with the series, Smash follows the process of bringing Bombshell, a musical about the life of Marilyn Monroe, to Broadway. Features many of the songs written for the show including "Let Me Be Your Star," Smash will give fans of the show everything they’ve been looking for since the series left the air.
There’s rivaling Marilyn actresses, plenty of backstage drama, lots of dishy gossip and sharp, dark comedy to go around. When bringing a smash to Broadway, what could go wrong? Be a part of the sensation: tickets to Smash are available now on New York Theatre Guide.
