'Smash' Broadway review — a chaotic backstage comedy | New York Theatre Guide

1 week ago | newyorktheatreguide.com | Gillian Russo

From the moment an official Broadway announcement was made for Smash, a new musical loosely adapted from the NBC series about the drama-filled making of a fictional musical, it was publicized that the stage show would be different. It's understandable to want to stand alone from a TV show that aired over a decade ago and was beset with real-life behind-the-scenes drama of its own.
