Smash is setting its sights on Broadway with an award-winning creative team, it was announced today by Robert Greenblatt, Neil Meron, and Steven Spielberg who will serve as lead producers. The stage musical adaptation, inspired by the fan-favorite NBC series on which they all worked together, is slated for Broadway in the 2024-25 season.

The production will be helmed by 5-time Tony-winning director Susan Stroman, with a score by the Tony- and Grammy-winning duo Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Some Like It Hot, Hairspray, etc.), who wrote over two dozen songs for the television show, many of which will be used in the musical. They will also be writing new material.

“Ever since the show ended in 2012, not a week goes by that someone doesn’t ask us when will they see Smash as a musical…. we’ve come up with something the die-hard series fans will love but that will also be exciting for people who never saw… the show.“ https://t.co/3FdgubbRyt
