Some things in life are worth waiting for, and that's exactly how we feel about the Broadway debut of Smash. Originally a hit NBC series that starred Megan Hilty and Katharine McPhee, it was announced in 2012 (yes, you heard that right) that the show would be adapted into a live stage production. Well, after 13 years, it's finally arrived on the Great White Way, and we found out how to get the best tickets online.
Directed by Susan Stroman and featuring Robyn Hurder, Brooks Ashmanskas, and Krysta Rodriguez as the lead characters, the concept of Smash is quite simple: it's a musical about a musical (about Marilyn Monroe's life). Not only will you get to hear popular songs like "Broadway Here I Come" and "Let Me Be Your Star," but you'll also get to witness how "History Is Made at Night" -- because, for the first time, critically acclaimed composer and lyricist, Marc Shaiman, will make perform at the Imperial Theater.
"Broadway likes to keeps you waiting, but after 50 years, Marc Shaiman has finally made it to the Imperial Theatre," Smash Broadway said on its official Instagram account. "From seeing Bette Midler in Fiddler on the Roof, to auditioning for Pippin -- Smash Bway has finally brought him right where he belongs."
