About Smash
Let it be your star! Get Smash tickets and see the cult classic TV show transform into a Broadway musical: the medium it was always destined for. Following a new production, Bombshell, as it stumbles its way toward Broadway, Smash is a high-stakes, cut-throat musical comedy about the behind-the-scenes and on-stage drama that propels one ill-fated musical about the life of Marilyn Monroe.
Tony Award winner Susan Stroman (The Producers) directs Smash in New York, which features an elite creative team including songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray, Tony Award) and bookwriters Rick Elice and Bob Martin, who won a Tony Award for The Drowsy Chaperone. Emmy winner Joshua Bergasse, who choreographed the TV show, returns to choreograph the highly-anticipated Smash Broadway musical spectacular.

More information about Smash
Smash was a TV phenomenon, running for only two seasons but leaving an indelible mark on fans. Winning an Emmy Award and enjoying Grammy and Golden Globe award nominations, the series catapulted Megan Hilty and Katharine McPhee to fame and also featured a slew of Broadway regulars, including Jeremy Jordan and Christian Borle.
Now, the show comes to Broadway, which feels particularly apt given the series was about a show…coming to Broadway. That show-within-a-show is called Bombshell and is based on the life of Marilyn Monroe. Actresses compete for starring roles, and soon the behind-the-scenes drama eclipses anything going on on stage. What could go wrong? Susan Stroman brings her signature razzle dazzle staging to this big musical, which features a number of hit songs from the series along with a delicious new score. Buckle up for a ferocious and fun ride as Bombshell, and Smash, make their long-awaited journey to Broadway.
What to watch for
- The Grammy-nominated “Let Me Be Your Star” is just one of the many hit songs from the series that will be heard in the stage musical, which also features new songs.
- Audiences can expect familiar characters and plot points with some new ones thrown in that further flesh out the steamy relationships and cut-throat world of Smash.
- Movies are often adapted for the stage, but TV shows are less common additions. However, this season, BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical based on the cartoon character will also be on Broadway.
- Megan Hilty, who originated the role of Ivy Lynn on TV, will also be on Broadway this year with Death Becomes Her.
