"Behind every great show there's a million rewrites" Tom Conti stars in this Jack Rosenthal musical comedy.

WHAT YOU SAY

No comments yet, be the first to write a review.

According to Stephen Sondheim, “Musical comedies aren’t written – they’re re-written”.

Smash is Jack Rosenthal’s hilarious but scathing look at the journey to get a musical from page to stage, complete with a cantankerous composer, a fantasist lyricist, a neophyte female novelist turned playwright, a cocksure director and a bombastic producer.

Based on his own experience of turning his hit tv play Bar Mitzvah Boy into a (less-than-successful) musical, this is the London premiere of one of Rosenthal’s wittiest and, until now, rarely seen, plays.

So curtain up, light the lights…..
