On April 10, 2025, SMASH officially opened on Broadway to a star-studded audience at the Imperial Theatre. People magazine captured all the excitement from opening night, where Broadway legends and celebrity guests came out to celebrate.
Directed and choreographed by five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman, SMASH is a transformation of the beloved NBC series into an dazzling Broadway musical comedy — complete with behind-the-scenes chaos, glitz, and heart. With a score by Tony-winning duo Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, and a book by Rick Elice and Bob Martin, the production has quickly become one of Broadway’s hottest tickets.
