Smash is an ensemble musical television show produced by Universal Media Studios and Dreamworks for NBC Television. Seen as an answer to the Fox hit "Glee", Smash features veteran TV star Debra Messing from "Will and Grace" fame and Katherine McPhee, best known as a contestant on the fifth season of the Fox talent show "American Idol". Unlike "Glee", which features established songs and occasional mash-ups, Smash features original music from Grammy and Tony-winning songwriters Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman. The show follows the trials and tribulations of a cast of characters struggling to mount an ambitious Broadway musical based on the life of screen legend Marilyn Monroe. Other stars of Smash include Jack Davenport from "Flash Forward", and singer/actress Megan Hilty from the Broadway show "Wicked". Smash is written by the veteran TV writer Theresa Rebeck and directed by Tony Award-winning Michael Mayer. The show's inspiration came from an idea by director Steven Spielberg.MORE
