    SMASH! (Broadway) - A Post Show Analysis
    Apr 25 2025
    In this episode, Jeff and Richie break down the Broadway production of Smash at the Imperial Theatre. Inspired by the cult TV series, Smash takes audiences behind the scenes of a new musical about Marilyn Monroe. We share our first impressions, dig into the plot, and debate whether the show’s backstage antics and meta-comedy work on stage. We talk standout performances from Brooks Ashmanskas and Robyn Hurder, energetic choreography, and the show’s Tony potential. But we also question the show’s focus, the integration of its score, and whether Smash should have just been a straightforward Bombshell musical. Join us as we unpack what works, what doesn’t, and what we wish we’d seen from Broadway’s latest adaptation. Follow and connect with all things @HalfHourPodcast on ⁠Instagram⁠, and ⁠YouTube⁠.
