In this special segment for CBS Sunday Morning, Tracy Smith sat down with the SMASH creative team—including Tony-winning composers Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, five-time Tony Award-winning director Susan Stroman, and Tony nominee Robyn Hurder—to discuss bringing the cult-favorite TV show to life on stage. In the April 6, 2025 segment, they shared how the original melodrama about Marilyn Monroe was reimagined as a backstage comedy capturing the “hot mess” behind every Broadway musical.
SMASH is now playing at the Imperial Theatre.
