An alumnus from my high school (which graduates between 30-60 people per class, so it's tiny and everyone knows everyone) who is an actor (Broadway, a few small film roles, and a short-lived TV series) is dating a girl who has a TV show coming up in February on NBC. It's called "Smash", and she plays one of the main characters, a woman fighting Katharine McPhee for the role of Marilyn Monroe.
She's a REALLY nice woman, and I'm really hoping this is a successful show - for those of you who've watched Louie or Bones, she's had pretty big parts in episodes of those series, and quite a lot of Broadway success (Wicked, 9 to 5, etc.).
This show could either bomb miserably, or be an extremely popular television series. I see it as NBC's answer to Glee, but with professional theatre instead of high school Glee club. Not really my kind of show premise, but I'm definitely watching it to support one of the nicest peeps I've ever met.
