One of my favorite television show's of the past decade was Smash. As a matter of fact, I just recently watched every episode on DVD. I mean I needed something to do until this pandemic is over right? Sadly, the show only lasted two seasons before being canceled in the Spring of 2013. For those of you that are not familiar with the show's plot, it takes a behind the scenes look at a Broadway bound new musical, and the personal lives of the shows creators and it's stars.
The musical's subject? Why none other than icon Marilyn Monroe. The name of the show? Bombshell. Anyway, two years after the show's final episode, the cast as well as the show's composers Tony Award winners Marc Shaiman and Scott Whittman, reunited for a one night only benefit concert on June 8, 2015 at the Minskoff Theatre. Featuring the show's original cast, as well as full orchestra and chorus, Bombshell went on to become one of the mist successful fundraisers in Actor's Fund history.
Now while I didn't get the opportunity to attend the concert in 2015, you better believe that I won't miss it this time around. To view the live stream, which begins tomorrow night at 8pm, go to PEOPLE.com, as well as People's digital and social platforms. You can also view it on Playbill.com as well. Stay safe everyone, and don't forget to look out for each other. Until next time theatre fans.
