Fantastic show top to bottom
"The show is fun, funny, entertaining, the story easy to follow. The cast is la phenomenal - acting, singing and dancing.
I don't know how well it aligns with the TV show that people may know because I'm not familiar with it. All I know is that it is fantastic musical. "

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!"
"Great music and dancing. I laughed a lot, and enjoyed the audiences responses throughout. I left with a smile on my face. "

SMASH was, well…..SMASHING
"Such a wonderful performance by a wonderful cast. As a long time fan of the television series, this show made my heart so happy. I brought a newcomer with no prior knowledge of the television show and she did not stop smiling the entire show. Bravo cast, crew, creative team, and any others involved! "

Trust the hype-it IS a Smash!!!
"The lead singers were unbelievably talented. A lot of huge surprises came out vocally. The dancing was top-notch, and the energy never really slowed down. It had a humor that the television show lacked.
My favorite part of the night was how the second act cranked it up and took it home to a great finale all the way around!
Id see it again!"

I loved Smash the TV series, I liked Smash the musical
"Smash ended over 10+ years ago and had a loyal following of viewers who more than likely hoped to see a broadway show that aligned with or stayed true to the tv show and/or the concept of “Bombshell.” This show did not do that. I understand what the writers were trying to do i.e., take a new or fresh approach to a drama tv series and turn it into a comedy for stage, but some of that fell flat leaving loyal viewers such as myself a bit confused and disappointed in the final product. I was hoping to see more of a triangle or conflict between Karen, Ivy and the director. All of that conflict was glossed over and instead an assistant director was thrown into the mix to play Marilyn at the last minute and lots of antics with social media. The use of social media on the backdrop seemed out of place and reminded me of Mean Girls or Dear Evan Hanson and really didn’t make much sense to me as to why it was needed in this show. Character names were changed and the placement of some of the more emotional songs were sang in the bar scenes with no context while other songs from the tv soundtrack were completely cut from the show. Performers were great and delivered a stellar performance with the material they were given. Costumes were beautiful. Sets were good. Am I glad to have seen it, yes. Was it funny, yes. But if you are expecting to see a remake or condensed version of the tv show, you won’t. Personally, waiting 10+ years for a stage version, I hoped for something better or more memorable. But with that said, if you are going to a show merely to be entertained, you will. "

Good memories brought to life
"I loved the music. The score. It was familiar for me and well done. The lead playing Ivy Lynn has great tone and is a powerhouse singer. Could have done without the ensemble cast and wish the Karen character was a stronger singer. Overall I did like it a lot. They too the TV show that I loved and made it their own as it should be. Like going down memory lane. Let Me Be Your Star is timeless and so is Don't Say Yes!!"

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.
