What’s wrong with the American theatre is producers asserting their creative “license” over directors. Or at least that’s what Derek Wills, the director of the fictional musical, Bombshell, yells as he quits the production on NBC’s “Smash.” “Smash (2012-),” the NBC musical drama follows Bombshell, a musical making its journey to the Big White Way.
In its second season, the series has featured an “edgy” list of underground musical theater composers that includes Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Pasek and Paul) of Edges fame, Joe Iconis, and Drew Gaspirini. To justify incorporating this new musical sound, “Smash” conjured two cutting-edge composer characters into the storyline who are working on a musical ironically titled Hit List.
“Broadway, Here I Come” from “Smash”’s Hit List
While Hit List and Bombshell are fictional musicals, “Smash” portrays two very real and different styles of modern musical theater converging.
The show has zeroed in on the dialogue the American musical theater community is torturing itself about: how to define “musical theater.”

Seniors Rachel Rubin and Alyssa Wohl brought hand-made tissue paper flowers to the workers at the Dewick-MacPhie dining hall yesterday in an effort to say ‘thank you’ and demonstrate the student body’s collective appreciation

“We decided to make the flowers to thank the dining hall staff for coming in when they’re risking their own safety in order to provide some semblance of normalcy for students,” Rubin said.

Wisler Clerjuste, one of the workers at Dewick, said she appreciates the gesture.
“It was very, very fine. Everyone over here was so happy about it,” he said with a smile.
Allie Wollum, a senior and a friend of Rubin’s and Wohl’s, taught the two seniors how to make the flowers this morning quickly and efficiently.
“It was something simple that we could make at home,” Rubin said, “but it’s still a nice thank you gesture.”
If the pair have time to gather more material, they plan to do the same for the workers at Carmichael Dining Hall in the near future.

Scheduled activities at the Jumbo Days event for prospective students admitted to the Class of 2017 today have been canceled for the remainder of the day, according to Director of Public Relations Kim Thurler.
“We did an abbreviated version [of Jumbo Days] today, which has now concluded,” Thurler told the Daily in an email. “Prospective students are returning home if circumstances permit, or they can stay in residence halls on campus another night.”
Admissions intern and senior Bronwen Raff posted to the 2016 Facebook group that anyone hosting prospective students should walk them to Cousens Gymnasium where they will receive breakfast and possibly meet with their parents. Anyone with questions are asked to call 617-627-4585.
Senior Eric Peckham was walking on campus earlier today and told the Daily there were students and prospective students walking around campus.
“A lot of people just strolling around,” Peckham said. “There are a lot of families here for Jumbo Days and they’re just wandering around since stuff was canceled.”
