Smash Cast - Music Of Smash

Original soundtrack to the hit televsion series. This highly anticipated album features stars Katharine McPhee (Karen), Megan Hilty (Ivy Lynn) and other cast members performing the original music created for the show s narrative and for the musical-within-a-musical. Highlighted on the album are the Broadway-caliber songs written for the series by Tony and Grammy winners Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. Also includes some of the pop tunes that have been adapted for the show, such as Christina Aguilera's Beautiful, the show-stopping song that Karen sings so effectively for her audition that she is plucked, literally, from obscurity to audition for the musical s starring role. And one of the season's most attention-getting songs has been the stunning Let Me Be Your Star, seen in the pilot and sung simultaneously by Hilty and McPhee. In addition, Hilty's show-stopping performance of Crazy Dreams is also included on the soundtrack.
