Smash, which is a musical drama, revolves around a group of characters who come together to put on a Broadway musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe. But before that can happen, the people who will try to bring it all together must deal with their own personal acts.

The series will feature original music by composers Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. NBC opted to hold the show for mid-season in order to pair it up with the hit reality show The Voice on Monday nights, according to New York Times.

Smash is an upcoming American National Broadcasting Company (NBC) series set to premiere in the 2011/2012 mid-season. Smash stars Debra Messing (Will & Grace), McPhee (American Idol) and Oscar winner Anjelica Huston (Prizzi's Honor).
