BOMBSHELL Sitzprobe! Katharine McPhee, Megan Hilty, Jeremy Jordan & More Sing Out

The BOMBSHELL cast sings with the orchestra for the first time!

NBC's musical dramedy series SMASH ended after two seasons earlier this decade, but the Broadway-centric series will feature in a new reunion concert set to highlight material from the musical-within-the-series BOMBSHELL, inspired by the life of Marilyn Monroe, on June 8 at a star-studded concert announced several weeks ago when the Kickstarter campaign racked up a grand total of $318,120.

Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron shared several shots from the sitzprobe featuring Megan Hilty, Katharine McPhee, Jeremy Jordan, Ann Harada, Christian Borle, Brian D'Arcy James, Donna McKechnie and more, with Zadan commenting, "The #Bombshell cast sings for the first time today with the full orchestra. Very exciting. We're hearing expanded and new orchestrations."
