‘Smash’ to close on Broadway
The show, loosely adapted from the NBC TV series of the same name, follows the drama that goes down behind the scenes of a Marilyn Monroe musical.
Don’t forget Smash — the Broadway musical at the Imperial Theatre has set a closing date of June 22. At the time of closing, it will have played 116 total performances.
Loosely inspired by the 2012 NBC TV show of the same name, centers on a fictional Marilyn Monroe musical called Bombshell, which is troubled by feuding writers, major divas, and plenty more drama. Featuring a new script by Bob Martin and Rick Elice, the show retains Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman’s fan-favorite songs from the TV series, like the Emmy Award-winning “Let Me Be Your Star.”
The cast includes Tony Award nominee Robyn Hurder as Ivy, 2025 Tony nominee Brooks Ashmanskas as Nigel, Krysta Rodriguez as Tracy, John Behlmann as Jerry, two-time Tony nominee Kristine Nielsen as Susan, Caroline Bowman as Karen, Jacqueline B. Arnold as Anita, Bella Coppola as Chloe, Casey Garvin as Charlie, and Nicholas Matos as Scott.
Five-time Tony winner Susan Stroman directs, and 2025 Tony nominee Joshua Bergasse choreographs, also returning from the TV series, for which he won an Emmy.
