In case you're in a cave and not watching, we'll fill you in on NBC's new drama, Smash.
Among other things, it's about Katharine McPhee is a young Broadway newbie looking to score the lead roll in a musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe, but she's up against an AMAZZZING Broadway vet, Megan Hilty.
In the scene (above) McPhee belts out a song from the Marilyn musical for her (like zillionth) audition.

We chose our two faves: the kids' group number of the B-52 classic, Love Shack and the Rachel's dads, played by the HIGHlarious Jeff Goldblum and Brian Stokes Mitchell, performing the Anything Goes ditty, You're The Top!
Kind of disappointed Lea Michele didn't sing it with them, but we'll survive.
Check out the jump to hear MORE songs from next week's episode! There are some real good ones down there; Amber Riley SLAYS a Whitney classic and there are two songs from the new kid! Enjoy!
And we just fell in love with him a little bit more!
Gavin Creel sat down for an in-depth interview with Broadway.com and besides chatting about Sutton Foster, his upcoming show with Stephen Oremus and his new music video "noise", he also took a moment to recognize someone who loves him with every part of their soul:
Perez Hilton!!!!
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE HIM! We could listen to him talk all day. Even when he speaks, there is such melody in his voice.
Ah, Gavin! It's such a compliment to know that you take all our swooning over you in stride. Really, the next time you're in L.A., please let us take you to lunch … and then dinner… and then dessert …
The drag queen! The moment! Her description of the entire event!
And of course…IDINA MENZEL!
The Broadway star is currently headlining the Atlantis Caribbean Cruise, and she was recently joined on stage by none other than Miz Courtney Act to duet her Rent classic Take Me Baby Or Leave Me!
Hear that? That's the sound of every Lea Michele die-hard fan on the planet holding their breath and waiting to hear the answer to the question. Exhale friends, because the answer is …
Maybe.
When word got around that Spring Awakening was being made into a movie, the obvious choices for the leads were the kids who made the musical famous on Broadway, namely Lea and her bestie friend Jonathan Groff. While The Groff's name isn't being thrown around in casting discussions (so we know), director McG spilled at the premiere of This Means War last night that Princess Lea has been approached for the part of Wendla … and she's considering it! According to McG:
Take her name off the marquee — New York's sweetheart is heading to La La Land!
It's been confirmed that ABC Family has picked up the Sutton Foster–led drama Bunheads, created by Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman Palladino. The show will feature Sutton as a former Las Vegas showgirl named Delores Van-Cartier who leaves the glitz of the strip to work as her her mother-in-law's small-town dance studio.
As this marks Sutton's first major stint on television, we're nothing but happy for her, but we're sure the bright lights of Broadway are going to miss her terribly!
Enjoy this girl — but come back to the Great White Way soon!!
Last night, the premiere of SMASH debuted on NBC and those of you who resisted the temptation of downloading the pilot on iTunes and watching it OnDemand finally got a chance to see it in all it's glory. We invite anyone who wants to to disagree with us, but in our opinion, that might be the best drama pilot episode of a new series since Lost. The talent, the story, the music — it all fit together so seamlessly and brilliantly. Stand outs for us included the impeccable, scene-stealing efforts of the legendary Anjelica Huston and the captivating voice of Megan Hilty, whose character wasn't who we thought she would be — and we were pleasantly surprised by that.
The Great White Way will be making way for a not-so-white wedding as a new musical based on the 1992 Honeymoon In Vegas is on the way. The film version starred Nicolas Cage and Sarah Jessica Parkeras a young couple on the verge of getting hitched in Sin City before a wealthy Vegas man named Tommy Korman, played in the film by James Caan, tries to thwart their plans.
While the actors to play the not-so-happy couple have yet to be announced (we are hearing that T.R. Knight was at the workshop for this though), Tony Danza has been pegged for the meddler's role, which
At least, we think it is! Almost positive, actually!
Angelina Jolie was at the Berlin International Film Festival today, where she is screening her directorial debut, In The Land Of Blood and Honey out of competition, when she announced that the long-rumored project was next up for her - even though she didn't specifically call it by name!
She explains:
"I haven't acted in two years, and I haven't done anything else since this . The next thing I am looking at is a Disney movie. The best thing to find that balance is to do something that is just for children. You know, you find different ways to make things matter. When, for example, you do fun action movies, they are empowering for my daughters."
And since we've gotten word that the Luc Besson movie she had been eyeing seems to have stalled, and Maleficent recently got Robert Stromberg as a director, we think it's safe to say that the Linda Woolverton-written adaptation of the classic fairy tale is definitely where we'll see her next!
