STAGE TUBE: Miss SMASH's 'The Callback?' Watch it Here!

On last night's episode of NBC's new musical drama series SMASH entitled 'The Callback', Ivy (Megan Hilty) and Karen (Katharine McPhee) jumped through hoops for the brilliant but temperamental director Derek Wills (Jack Davenport) as they pursued the role of a lifetime. Meanwhile, Julia (Debra Messing) and her husband Frank (Brian d'Arcy James), were frustrated by the red tape of an international adoption process, and Eileen (Anjelica Huston) fought to finance her new musical in the midst of an acrimonious divorce. Check out the full episode below!

The series stemmed from an idea of executive producer and multiple Emmy and Oscar winner Steven Spielberg ("ER," "Schindler's List"). The pilot was written by acclaimed playwright/screenwriter Theresa Rebeck ("Mauritius," "NYPD Blue"). David Marshall Grant ("Brothers and Sisters"), Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (Oscar-winning "Chicago," "Hairspray") and Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey ("United States of Tara," "The Borgias") also serve as executive producers. Original songs are written by Tony and Grammy Award winners Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman ("Hairspray," "Catch Me If You Can"), who serve as executive producers as well.

SMASH is a production of Universal Television in association with DreamWorks Television and Madwoman in the Attic. The pilot was directed by Tony Award winner Michael Mayer ("Spring Awakening," "American Idiot").
