@Mylla123 we're giving a behind-the-scenes look at mounting a broadway musical and all the crazy drama that comes with it!

The show will follow an out-of-town tryout of a Broadway musical, and centers around a songwriting team (Debra Messing and Christian Borle) who write a musical about Marilyn Monroe based on an offhand remark. They post a showstopping number on YouTube. When it's a viral hit, a producer (Anjelica Huston) who's looking to recapture success long past decides to produce the musical. There are two choices to play Marilyn: Karen (Katharine McPhee), a talented young newcomer, and Ivy (Megan Hilty), a theater veteran. Brian d'Arcy James has also been cast as Debra Messing's character's husband. Chase will play Stephen, a character who according to Deadline.com "has a history with Messing’s character."

SMASH is slated for a February premiere on NBC.
