Katharine McPhee Reflects on How Smash Changed Her Life Ahead of Reunion and Bombshell in Concert Livestream Smash cast. Smash — which was a scripted NBC drama series about the creation of Bombshell, a fictional Broadway musical about the life of Marilyn Monroe — was based on an original idea by Steven Spielberg and created by Theresa Rebeck. It concluded in 2013 after two seasons. "My greatest hope is that we raise a ton of money to help everyone who is suffering as a result of COVID-19," says Debra Messing. "But I also hope we uplift people. These are actors, singers and dancers who are regularly on Broadway. It’s that caliber of performers and it will be a lot of fun." To donate, visit ActorsFund.org.
