“Sing to me and I will forgive you,
for taking my heart in the suitcase you packed”
Well, Smash definitely locked my heart up and sent it
away! In the last month or so I have been OBSESSED with Smash, after a friend
from dancing recommended it to me!
Smash is a TV series with 2 seasons filled with love,
heartache, dreams and everything Broadway! A lot of people compare it to Glee,
however it has a much deeper storyline with more developed characters.
Season one is about the making of a show based on the
life of the legendary Marilyn Monroe, called Bombshell. You see the struggles
that go into the making of a Broadway show. The two leading ladies, Katharine
McPhee (Karen) and Megan Hilty (Ivy), of Smash are equally beautiful and
talented. There is a battle between Karen and Ivy for the role of Marilyn. The
best and most famous song from Smash has to be ‘Let Me Be Your Star’. Other
stars include Christian Borle, Debra Messing, Anjelica Huston, Jack Davenport
and many others.)

Season two introduces Jimmy (Jeremy Jordan- Bonnie & Clyde, Newsies), a normal city boy who dreams of getting onto Broadway. Jimmy and his writing partner Kyle (Andy Mientus) are in the process of writing their own musical, Hit List. As Bombshell makes its debut on Broadway, Karen is faced with a difficult decision; to go with her head or her heart? Season two includes darker material with a fresher sound.

The music in Smash is truly amazing and it is all I have
been listening to in the last few weeks. Season two is definitely my favourite and
Jeremy Jordan could well be one of the reasons for this! There are beautiful
songs like ‘Heart Shaped Wreckage’ and ‘Broadway Here I Come’. Then there are
the heart-breaking songs like ‘The Love I Meant to Say’ and ‘The Goodbye Song’.

I highly recommend Smash to any Broadway/theatre/glee lovers
as I can guarantee that you will love it!
I am still in shock that it got cancelled after the 2nd
season because I cannot see why, all the reviews are glowing. I am missing it
so much that I am re-watching it and trying to get my sister as hooked as I am!
Let me know your opinions on Smash!
