NBC's SMASH - Series & Broadway Adaptation Thread — Page 97

"Agreed, Smash is a corpse. Let it RIP"

Actually, it had some great original songs and with some trimming of the storyline could have been very good TV series. If done correctly, the show has some possibilities to be enjoyable night out at the theatre. BTW - the TV show was basically an All-Star Broadway cast with people like Megan Hilty, Leslie Odoms Jr, Krysta Rodriguesz Christian Borle, Will Chase and Katharine McPhee. That was just the people in Season One, the next season had even more Broadway stars.

Where’s Bonnie Milligan? I heard she was amazing in the last workshop!

Jonalyn posted the BWW headline on her Instagram story and commented, “Adding another Karen to my resume.”

On another note, it’s always great to see Casey Garvin booking shows!

Shows go through so many iterations before reaching a stage. Just because she was involved with the workshop doesn't mean she would be able to continue, or she wasn't asked back. It happens."

She could be workshopping something else at the moment. This isn't tea, it's actually a hypothetical. lol.

I am super curious about Yvette Nicole Brown being involved with this as she doesn't really have much of a theater background let alone musicals.

Who do you know who confirmed this?? How do y'all know all of this? It's not obvious

It played at the fictitious Lily Hayes Theatre and they used the facade of the Lyceum.

It's a pretty big commitment right now when her current show is closing, maybe she's focusing on those last few months of shows and working on other things when shorter time commitments.

How exciting for nobody.

I see she’s taking the cheater’s way to another possible Tony."



Or maybe she wants to support the musical since she was in the second season of the TV series.
