Smash'ed
Welcome to Smash'ed, a tongue-in-cheek recap of what is television’s most detailed depiction of the theatre industry. And yes, we’re still talking about Smash, the NBC series that chronicled the creation of a Broadway musical and all of the drama that ensued along the way. Hosted by Aaron J. Albano (Newsies, Hamilton) and Mo Brady (The Ensemblist) Smash'ed goes back episode by episode to see how this supposed love letter to Broadway has held up over the past decade. In each episode, we’re looking to find the answers to these three questions:Did it represent Broadway then? Does it represent Broadway now? Is it any good?
