NBC's cult-favorite television series "Smash" comes to Broadway as a brand new stage musical. The series — about the making of a Marilyn Monroe bio-musical called "Bombshell" — first debuted in 2012. Broadway's "Smash" will officially open at the Imperial Theatre on April 10, 2025.
The show was a melodrama on television, but the Main Stem version is a backstage farce — highlighting the shenanigans that go on as a group of artists try to make the original musical "Bombshell." The shift in tone was producer Steven Spielberg's idea (yes, that Steven Spielberg).
Hear from book writers Rick Elice and Bob Martin, songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, director Susan Stroman, choreographer Joshua Bergasse, producers Robert Greenblatt and Neil Meron and actors Jacqueline B. Arnold, Brooks Ashmanskas, Caroline Bowman, Bella Coppola, Casey Garvin, Robyn Hurder, Nicholas Matos and Kristine Nielsen as they share what to expect from "Smash" on Broadway.
