SMASH Cast to Reunite for 'BOMBSHELL IN CONCERT' One-Night-Only Streaming Event
The cast of “Bombshell,” the fictional Broadway musical about Marilyn Monroe, is coming together again to aid those confronting the coronavirus.
Actors including Katharine McPhee, Debra Messing, and Megan Hilty will reunite May 20 to present a stream of the one-night-only 2015 Broadway concert of the musical within the TV show “Smash”. It will be seen on People.com, PeopleTV and the magazine’s Facebook page and Twitter.
Bombshell, the show-within-the-show about the life of Marilyn Monroe, features a score by Tony and Grammy Award-winning songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, who also served as executive producers of "Smash." The live one-night-only concert, held at the Minskoff Theater in New York City on June 8, 2015, included fully staged numbers and a full orchestra and chorus, and remains one of the most successful fundraisers ever for The Actors Fund.
"Smash" is based on an original idea by Steven Spielberg, who was also executive producer of the series. "Smash" was created by Theresa Rebeck.
