Anyone tuning in to Smash beginning in February with thoughts of Glee-like antics is sadly mistaken. The two stand on their own and there’s room for both.
The making of a Broadway show set inside a show — it could be cheesy, but thanks to careful casting and story development, Smash is on track to be anything but.
Smash has it all: Two songwriters (Debra Messing/Christian Borle) looking to launch a Broadway show, a green, hungry actress (Katharine McPhee) and, of course, a headstrong producer (Anjelica Huston). Throw real life into the mix and it’s a formula, when done right, that can really work.
In a day and age where breaking into song on Glee is taking over, Smash offers a gritty feel to the song and dance genre.
It’s not going to be about busting a move when the feeling strikes. It’s about life intersecting with the road to opening a Broadway show — see, we told you there was room for both.
