New cinema-quality musical is rich with talent and big names,
but that doesn't guarantee success
By Mekeisha Madden-Toby Special to MSN TV
Most people know it is bad form to wish good luck upon someone in
theater, but if there's ever been a Broadway show critics were pulling for ... more
in the luck department, it's "Smash."
NBC's brilliantly executed Broadway musical within a musical has all the
drama, music, talent and weight a show needs to be a hit. Not only is Steven Spielberg behind the series, but Academy
Award-winning actress Anjelica Huston is starring on the series. And
these are just a few things "Smash" has going for it.
Ultimately, we'll have to wait and see if "Smash" is a huge hit or an
overly ambitious flop, but the show certainly has more going for it than against
it.
