On Broadway (Smash)

Bombshell returns to New York in hopes of landing a theater for its Broadway debut, but a new scandal puts its fate in jeopardy.

The cast and crew of the musical Bombshell return to New York City following out-of-town tryouts in Boston, to mixed critical reviews.

Oscar-winner and American Idol alumni Jennifer Hudson is featured in the episode as Broadway star and two-time Tony winner Veronica Moore, who is currently in the musical Beautiful.

Six songs are featured in the episode, four of them originals (one a reprise) and two covers ("On Broadway" by The Drifters and "Don't Dream It's Over" by Crowded House).

For the original songs, the show's in-house songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman wrote "Cut, Print...Moving On", "Mama Makes Three", and the reprised "Let Me Be Your Star", while "Broadway, Here I Come" was written by Joe Iconis.
