Every year, a few shows with marginal ticket sales hold on until the Tony Awards, hoping some win or exposure there will drive buyers to the box office. When it doesn't happen, they announce they're closing…and the first one this year is Smash, which will be giving its final performance on June 22.
It got decent reviews but this was a highly competitive season with many new shows clawing for playgoers' money. Perhaps it will have an afterlife but for now, some of us will only experience its cast album…which is for sale now and which you can hear streamed for free at this website. Too bad…it sounds like a good show.
