刚刚看到一则今年6月的新闻,谈到bombshell要被真正搬上百老汇,激动得我一身鸡皮疙瘩。原文是这样:
Smash's Bombshell Musical About Marilyn Monroe Is Actually in the Works
The show must go on, and for Smash andBombshell, it just took a little longer to continue. NBC canceled the musical drama in 2013 after two seasons, but now it could get a new life of sorts on stage. Bombshell, the Marilyn Monroemusical at the center of the series, is being developed into a real Broadway musical. This news comes after the cast, including Katharine McPhee and Megan Hilty, reunited for a charity concertbenefiting The Actors Fund. The show sold out in pre-sale and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"There is a still a lot of love for Smash and a rabid fan base out there, and we're thrilled to be able to keep the dream alive as we work towards bringing Bombshellto theatre audiences," Robert Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment, said in a statement. "Smash was ambitious because every episode was a complicated musical for television and we also built the foundation of the musical-within-the-musical about Marilyn's endlessly fascinating and tumultuous life. Over the course of two seasons an entire Bombshell score was written to service Smash storylines, and now that show will have a chance to stand on its own."
CLICK: The Smash cast remains amazing
Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman wrote the songs for Bombshell in the series and will serve composer and co-lyricists. The show hailed from executive producersCraig Zadan, Neil Meron, Steven Spielberg and starred McPhee, Hilty, Debra Messing, Christian Borle, Jeremy Jordan and Anjelica Huston. Zadan and Meron are also producing the stage version of Bombshell. Spielberg is also expected to be involved with the project. Rumors about taking the show to stage first started when Smash season one ended, but nothing ever materialized.
No casting has been announced and nobody from the show's cast is currently involved with the stage musical. A book writer will be announced at a later date.
