Smash returned from its State of the Union break tonight with plenty of songs and drama in 2×03 “Dramaturg.” Share your thoughts on the episode and get a look ahead at next week right here!
What did you think of “Dramaturg”? How do you feel about Daniel Sunjata’s character Peter? Could there be a romance brewing between him and Julia?
Do you believe that Peter is going to keep Bombshell close to its original book? And what did you think of Karen’s opening performance of “Good For You” from Hit List?
More of Jimmy’s dark past was revealed, including his drug use and sketchy company. Did this change your opinion on him?
Some of the big reveals of the episode happened during Ivy’s phone conversation with Tom. She revealed that she has been cast as the lead role in another Broadway play, and suggested that she only was able to do so because of Tom’s caring direction. This could potentially lead to this set spoiler of a Bombshell advertisement.
Episode 2×04 “The Song” airs next Tuesday at 10 p.m. EST on NBC. To tide you over, check out the episode promo below.
“The Song” will see Sheryl Lee Ralph (an original Dreamgirl!) guest star as Ronnie Moore’s overbearing mother and manager.
Episode synopsis:
Derek (Jack Davenport) calls in help for a special event, but Jimmy’s (Jeremy Jordan) pride might get in the way of a huge opportunity Karen (Katharine McPhee) orchestrates for him and Kyle (Andy Mientus). Peter (guest star Daniel Sunjata) challenges Julia’s (Debra Messing) pride as they continue to work together. Meanwhile, Ronnie (guest star Jennifer Hudson) struggles to assert her independence from a powerful mother (guest star Sheryl Lee Ralph), as Eileen (Anjelica Huston) finds herself at a moral crossroads with huge ramifications for “Bombshell.” Christian Borle and Megan Hilty also star.
