Debra Messing Instagram – I’ve been stressed out of my mind, as you all have, and needed an escape.
SMASH just* dropped on Peacock (streaming) in a lead up to its opening on Broadway.
I remember getting this script, over 10 years ago 😳, and said, “This is the best pilot I’ve ever read. I have to be a part of it.”
I packed my bags, said goodbye to LA, and moved back to my 1st love—NYC.
It was the most joyful experience, working with the best of Broadway (hello, Bernadette Peters, Christian Borle, Megan Hilty (Marilyn🔥), Jeremy Jordan, Brian Darcy James,Leslie Odem Jr, Andy Mientus, Crysta Rodriguez, Will Chase, Anne Harada, to name a few!), Oscar nominated actors, (Anjelica Huston), and a cast full of superstars, both as actors and as people, our Marilyn exquisite Kat McPhee, Jack Davenport and Reza Jaffrey—INCREDIBLE people, celebrating the world of BROADWAY. It literally was heaven playing a playwright because I got to sit behind a table and watch, in awe, the most talented singers and dancers in the world.
I just watched the pilot (directed by Tony Award winning director, Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening,)for the first time in over a decade and the last sequence still brings tears to my eyes, and a huge smile to my face. If you are looking for an escape, check it out.
You won’t regret it, I promise.
