Expected to arrive in the 2024-2025 season, stage version smash will combine the new and the old, presenting both songs familiar to the fans, with the addition of some new melodies. Staying true to the original, the storyline will follow the creation of a fictional Marilyn Monroe-centered Bomb musical and intense and over the top personalities trying to bring it all together.

Hair fixation spray as well as a musical in the Marvel Universe, Rogers: The Musical V Hawkeye.
