SMASH to be Presented at Works & Process at The Guggenheim

Works & Process at the Guggenheim presents SMASH with Marc Shaiman, Scott Wittman, Rick Elice, Bob Martin, Susan Stroman and Joshua Bergasse, on February 3, 2025 at the Peter B. Lewis Theater.

SMASH, inspired by the hit TV show, is finally coming to Broadway this spring! A hilarious behind-the-scenes rollercoaster ride about the making of a Marilyn Monroe musical called Bombshell, it's got all the iconic songs, kick-ass choreography, and backstage pandemonium that make Broadway the beloved institution it is today. The production will be helmed by five-time Tony Award-winner Susan Stroman and feature a score by Tony, Emmy, and Grammy Award-winning duo Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, who wrote over two dozen songs for the television show (many of which will be heard in the musical); a book by Tony Award-nominee Rick Elice and Tony Award-winner Bob Martin; and choreography by Tony Award-nominee Joshua Bergasse. Members of the creative team will participate in a discussion moderated by Vanity Fair Staff Writer Chris Murphy and featuring excerpts performed in advance of previews beginning on March 11, 2025 at Broadway's Imperial Theatre.
