Smash

I have been watching Smash. It's the new show on NBC. In case you have no clue, it is about the making of a musical. While watching the first episode all I could think was, "If this show had been around when I was twelve, how would it have changed my life?" Then I proceeded to have a full on moment in my head where I was singing on the stage at the Shubert Theatre, belting out the closing number to Rent.

As I snap back to my senses I come to the realization that a TV show was not going to get me on Broadway.

So back to Smash. Can I just say that it is everything I wish Glee had been. From the dancing, to the tight harmonies, this show is just awesome. And the actors are giving their all to the characters. Angelica Houston plays a Broadway producer in the midst of a divorce that could ruin her. She is so convincing and brilliant. You cheer for her character, and want her to win, but you can't help but think she's just a little mad.

My other favorite is Megan Hilty. She is such a BITCH!!!! I love it. She is a diva who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. She's even sleeping with the director! And despite all of this back handed cuntyness, I still kinda love her.

So if you haven't seen Smash, and you need a show to blow your mind, and distract you from the other swill on television, check it out.

Also, my leading man informed me that all of his missing work has been turned in, and his grade has been raised. Today I am a happy teacher.
