The Broadway musical "Smash," adapted from the NBC series, has premiered to surprise acclaim. While the original series faltered, the stage adaptation, directed by Susan Stroman, successfully reimagines the material as a musical comedy. Critics were initially skeptical, particularly concerning the adaptation of key songs like "Let Me Be Your Star." However, the show's surprising twists and strong musical numbers ultimately deliver a highly entertaining and unexpected theatrical experience.
