I may be a few years late. And it may be completely unrealistic. And it may be completely cliche, but I'm totally falling for Smash. I can totally see why real theatre people hated it. It's a little melodramatic, and a little - ok, a lot! - but it's very Broadway-ish, which is also awesome!
You can't deny a show about Broadway, that includes tons of actors that have actually been on Broadway. And the music is just absolutely gorgeous! I can get behind Katherine McPhee doing something like this. She's not so hot on Scorpion but on this she's fantastic. She and Megan Hilty are beyond talented - what I wouldn't give to have their voices.
My only complaint is that Debra Messing is playing a horrible person. I know she's supposed to be the main character - isn't she supposed to be likeable? Why is she such a terrible human being? She has a lovely husband, a great writing partner, works on Broadway and lives in NY - why does she nag and complain so darn much?! But other than that, the show is just so darn good.
I thought people at the time that were going on and on about actually creating Bombshell for the stage, were a bit mad. But after hearing the music, I'm sort of hooked. I'd totally buy a ticket in a heartbeat!
