It’s been almost 5 years since NBC axed its musical drama Smash after simply two seasons. During its run, it was a pretty divisive present: it had an unbelievable, effectively-acquired first season, then almost sank with out a hint throughout its second spherical. In the years that adopted, many would possibly argue that the present has developed a little bit of a cult following. And I do not suppose it could be a stretch to say a nice many individuals would like to see the present come again. Luckily, a potential revival has simply turned from a far-off daydream to a very actual chance.
Cut to Stagecraft, a theater podcast that is produced by Variety. The most up-to-date episode options Robert Greenblatt, chairman of NBC’s leisure division. During the 30-minute chat, Greenblatt addresses the whole Smash situation, noting that many individuals nonetheless appear to carry a particular place for it of their hearts. In truth, the help appears to be much more plentiful. “Interestingly sufficient, I hear extra about folks loving Smash now than I ever did when it was on the air,” Greenblatt mentioned. He additionally teased the potential of bringing again the present, but in a completely totally different iteration.
You see, Smash won’t essentially be returning to the small display screen, but the story will dwell on. We’re speaking about a stage adaptation. “We’ve been fascinated with other ways to consider a stage musical based mostly on Bombshell or Smash,” Greenblatt revealed.
For these of you who did not watch the present or who want a refresher, Bombshell is the title of the imaginary musical that is being produced throughout the world of Smash. It’s the present throughout the present, and it is based mostly on the lifetime of Marilyn Monroe. So, principally, that imaginary present may turn into a actuality, or the story of Smash (with Bombshell contained inside) may turn into its personal Broadway-bound bonanza. “There’s an incarnation which could sort of combine both,” Greenblatt continued. “You could not have seen the final of Smash but. There you could have it, people. Hold on to these goals.
