''Smash'' is an American musical-drama television series created by playwright Theresa Rebeck. It premiered in the United States on NBC on February 6, 2012. The series revolves around a fictional New York theater community making new Broadway musicals. In the first season, the focus was on the making of ''Bombshell'', a musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe. In the second season, the show was split between taking ''Bombshell'' to Broadway and the creation and mounting of a contemporary pop musical called ''Hit List'' that was about the price of fame. Other fictional musicals that were touched on for which original songs were performed include ''Beautiful'' and ''Liaisons''. A few of the songs were written for events outside of the aforementioned musicals. Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman wrote all but one of the songs in the first season. In the second season, they wrote all of the songs outside of ''Hit List'', along with several ''Hit List'' songs, as will be noted below.〔(Theatermania.com, February 14, 2013, "Eight questions With Smash Songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman" )〕 All their songs written for the show, except for a couple where only a few lines were written, can be found listed in the ASCAP music database.
