The wait is nearly over for Smash fans! The much-anticipated stage adaptation of the beloved NBC series is headed to Broadway for the 2024-25 season.
The cast and crew are hard at work, and the production team has just dropped an exclusive video giving us a glimpse into the rehearsal room.
I had to let my assistant go for leaking a clip last week, but then the clip went viral… So, here’s the whole thing

The cast of SMASH is made up of Brooks Ashmanskas (Nigel), Alex Brightman (Jerry), Yvette Nicole Brown (Anita), Bella Coppola (Chloe), Nihar Duvvuri (Scott), Casey Garvin (Charlie), Robyn Hurder (Ivy), Kristine Nielsen (Susan), Krysta Rodriguez (Tracy) and Jonalyn Saxer (Karen).
They’re joined by Wendi Bergamini, Giovanni Bonaventura, Jim Borstelmann, Zachary Downer, Tiffany Engen, Ashley Blair Fitzgerald, Megan Kane, Caleb Marshall-Villarreal, Connor McRory, JJ Niemann, Tanairi Sade Vazquez, Brian Shepard, Sarah Sigman, Jake Trammel and Katie Webber.
The production boasts some serious star power behind the scenes as well. Five-time Tony-winning director Susan Stroman is at the helm, ensuring that the transition from screen to stage is nothing short of spectacular.
And it wouldn’t be Smash without the iconic music—Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, the Tony- and Grammy-winning duo responsible for hits like Some Like It Hot and Hairspray, are back to bring us all the songs we loved from the TV show, along with some fresh new tracks.
Broadway veterans Rick Elice and Bob Martin, who between them have credits like Jersey Boys and The Prom, are co-writing the book.
