It's been a couple of years since BOMBSHELL, the Marilyn Monroe musical from NBC's cult series SMASH, started the long journey to Broadway. But as we bask in the afterglow of the Tony Awards, the LA Times reports the show 'looks Broadway-bound for real.'

Back in June, following the explosive and well-received Actors Fund benefit that featured the music of 'Bombshell' from the NBC television series 'Smash,' Universal Stage Productions announced plans to begin development on 'Bombshell' as a musical for the stage. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, producing duo Craig Zadan and Neil Meron revealed that it won't be much longer until work on the project begins.

Original SMASH star and Broadway actress Megan Hilty, after mentioning last week that she would love to audition for the full production, told EW last night that reprising her role as 'Marilyn' 'would be amazing! We'll see, you never know.'

Megan Hilty is hoping that NBC will let her audition for the Broadway prodution. In an interview with Hollywood Life, Hilty expressed her hopes to be involved.
