Well, if you like musical, glitz and Broadway you will surely like NBC's upcoming show SMASH. Featuring gorgeous Katharine McPhee and her stunning voice, the new show, coming up this Fall, will celebrate the beauty and heartbreak of the Broadway theater as it follows a cross-section of dreamers and schemers who all have one common desire - to be a SMASH. The series centers on a desire

to create a Broadway musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe, written by the successful songwriter played by WILL & GRACE's Debra Messing. The cast also includes Angelica Huston as a tenacious producer, Jack Davenport as a brilliant director and Megan Hilty who plays the experienced rival to Katharine McPhee's inexperienced but talented character. The whole show was an idea of Steven Spielberg and will feature lots of famous songs in each episode.  Check out a short video.
