NBC Picks Up Series for Season One

Alan Baltes
NBC has ordered a first season of episodes for the new musical-drama pilot "Smash," which follows a cross-section of characters who come together to put on a Marilyn Monroe musical on Broadway. The show's casting directors are now casting guest stars, day players, dancers, extras, stand-ins, and photo doubles in New York.

New NBC chief Bob Greenblatt, who first developed "Smash" at Showtime, has been passionate about the show. The pilot episode , which was filmed in March, 2011, has been excitedly screened for NBC executives over the past several weeks. Unlike "Glee," which is a music-packed series, "Smash" will instead focus on the effort that goes into making the music, choreography, and direction of a Broadway show come together.

"Smash" is being filmed in New York, and season 1 will begin shooting in June, 2011. The series will begin airing this fall on NBC.
