As BroadwayWorld reported earlier this week, producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron will present a concert presentation of the musical created within the NBC TV series "Smash," Bombshell, with music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, co-directed by Joshua Bergasse and Scott Wittman with choreography by Joshua Bergasse. The one-night only landmark event benefitting The Actors Fund is set for Monday evening, June 8, 2015 at The Minskoff Theatre (1515 Broadway).

Bombshell was the Marilyn Monroe musical created in NBC's Golden Globe-nominated television hit series "Smash." The one-night-only landmark event featuring Bombshell's original songs will feature Christian Borle, Will Chase, Megan Hilty, Katharine McPhee and Debra Messing (all subject to availability). Completing the cast will be a starry collection of Broadway favorites. Bombshell features the Emmy-nominated songs "Let Me Be Your Star," and "Hang the Moon."

The cast and creative team will be donating their time and talents for the entertainment charity but to help underwrite the considerable costs of the special benefit production and to assure that 100% of the proceeds will go to help people in performing arts and entertainment who are in need, crisis or transition, The Actors Fund launched a Bombshell Kickstarter campaign, which has raised over $230K in just a few days!

The theatre community is already freaking out over the upcoming concert, and BroadwayWorld is just as excited. Below, we bring you our top ten moments that we can't wait to see on stage!

10. The special appearances. We're already dying to know who makes up the "starry collection of Broadway favorites." Fingers crossed for the big guns!

9. The dancing. Joshua Bergasse will be back, so we can expect the same great choreography from the series!

8. When Will Chase belts it out. Bring on the high notes, please!

7. When Christian Borle lightens up the mood. Who better to add some laughs to the night?

6. The ballads. We love a good dance break, but we're all about Marilyn's heartfelt numbers too!

5. When Debra Messing gets her turn. She might not have gotten a lot of singing time on the show, but we can't wait to see her shine!

4. When Marilyn starts to unravel. It was featured early on in Season 1, but who can forget the amazing song during which Marilyn started to lose it?

3. When Katharine McPhee belts her face off. If SMASH proved nothing else, it was that Kat's voice knows no limits.

2. When Megan Hilty brings it home. Does it get any better than Megan at her brassiest?

1. And of course... the song that started it all! How could this NOT be number 1?
