Smash: NBC musical drama is finally coming to Broadway from producer Steven Spielberg
Smash, NBC’s musical drama about a fictional Broadway musical, is being given the long-awaited stage treatment.
Running for two seasons from 2012 to 2013, Smash followed the team working to stage an original show about the life of Marilyn Monroe, and the ensuing rivalry between the show’s star Ivy (Megan Hilty) and ensemble member Karen (Katharine McPhee).
The show gained a cult following, with fans asking for the series to be turned into a stage show ever since.
Now, it has been announced that a Smash musical is on its way from series producers Steven Spielberg, Robert Greenblatt, Neil Meron, with the production expected to open between 2024 and 2025.
Rather than simply transposing ‘Bombshell’, the Monroe musical from Smash, to the stage, the Broadway production will be a metatheatrical interpretation of the process of staging the fictional show. However, the real stage version will “depart liberally from the series”, according to producers.
