About Smash

Smash, inspired by the hit TV show, is finally coming to Broadway! A hilarious behind-the-scenes rollercoaster ride about the making of a Marilyn Monroe musical called Bombshell, it’s got all the iconic songs, kick-ass choreography, and backstage pandemonium that make Broadway the beloved institution it is today.

Our cast is stacked, because who better to play a bunch of wannabe Broadway big shots than actual Broadway big shots? Among them: Robyn Hurder, Brooks Ashmanskas, Krysta Rodriguez, Bella Coppola, Jacqueline Arnold, Caroline Bowman, John Behlmann, Kristine Nielsen and Casey Garvin to name just a few.

The production will also be helmed by five-time Tony Award® winner Susan Stroman, and feature a score by Tony, Emmy®, and Grammy Award®-winning duo Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, who wrote over two dozen songs for the television show (many of which will be heard in the musical), a book by Rick Elice and Bob Martin (Tony winner), and choreography by Joshua Bergasse.

Great experience for a SMASH TV lover
"I was a devotee of SMASH the TV show. I loved the music, the clever lyrics, and the performances, especially Megan Hilty. I was disappointed she was in Death Becomes Her instead of SMASH, but I wanted to see the show regardless. I'm so glad I did! The cast was brilliant. Robyn Hurder was fantastic. I loved the changes from the TV show. I liked that most of the cast got to sing the songs as opposed to just Ivy. The dancing was fabulous and those songs...so great. The play added humor that the TV show lacked, which I appreciated. Brooks Ashmanskas as Nigel was hilarious. "

This show is awesome!
"I was particularly struck by the vocal talents of each of the female leads. Each have multiple solos, and to say they pulled each one off flawlessly would be an understatement. Their voices were powerful and rich and gave me goosebumps. If that wasn't enough, the costumes are gorgeous while the dance numbers had me tapping my feet and moving in my seat. If you're a fan of the TV show, keep an open mind on the story; many similarities, but many differences, with a different performance of the theme song, "Let Me Be Your Star". Still great and sung with perfection. Billed as a musical comedy, it is funny and highly amusing with the comedic moments' timing very well done by the cast and weaved throughout the story. I highly recommend this show. You will not be disappointed. I left the theater smiling from ear-to-ear."

The most laughs & overall enjoyment we've had on Broadway in years!
"A highly entertaining and informative look behind the scenes of Broadway from many perspectives - producers, investors, writers, dancers, directors, actors, and production crew. A showcase of talent singing, dancing and acting, packed with heaps of fun and hilarious moments and lines. I enjoyed it immensely as did my two mid 20's son and daughter."

Absolutely Brilliant
"We didn’t know what to expect as this was recommended to us and didn’t really know much about it. So glad we went. Everything about this production was excellent. The whole cast were excellent at singing, dancing well everything really. They were all so talented. We loved the humour that all flowed so naturally. If you’re after a fun night out with a very talented cast then this is the show for you. Highly recommend, worth every penny and so much more!"
