Overview: Smash The Musical.
Smash is the musical inside a musical that once only lived on TV screens. Born from the NBC drama of the same name, it now steps out of the screen's glow and into the real Broadway spotlight. At its heart? A show-within-a-show: *Bombshell*, the dazzling biopic of Marilyn Monroe’s life, rise, ruin, and radiance.Story Layers and Emotional Core.
The meta-theatrical plot follows the chaotic creation of *Bombshell*. Writers Julia and Tom, once inseparable collaborators, juggle personal meltdowns and professional stakes. Director Derek, ruthless and vision-obsessed, drives them toward artistic perfection. At the center of the chaos, two women battle for the role of Marilyn: Karen, the Iowa ingénue with a golden voice, and Ivy, the seasoned Broadway talent who bleeds ambition.New Stage Life in 2024.
