Fade in on a girl With a hunger for fame And a face and a name to remember The past fades away Because as of this day Norma Jeane's gone She's moving on Her smile and your fantasies play a duet That will make you forget where you are The music starts playing It's the beat of her heart saying Let me be your star Flashback to a girl With a song in her heart As she's waiting to start the adventure The fire and drive That make dreams come alive They fill her soul She's in control The drama, the laughter, the tears just like pearls Well, they're all in this girl's repertoire It's all for the taking And it's magic we'll be making Let me be your star I'll just have to forget the hurt that came before Forget what used to be The past is on the cutting room floor The future is here with me Choose me! Fade up on a star With it all in her sights All the love and the lights That surround her Someday she'll think twice Of the dues and the price She'll have to pay She'll have to pay But not today But not today She'll do all she can For the love of one man And for millions who look from afar I'm what you've been needing It's all here and my heart's pleading Let me be your star!
Marc Shaiman is - to me - the ultimate BEST composer when it comes to writing music that is TRULY THE ESSENCE OF A PHENOMENAL BROADWAY / HOLLYWOOD GOLDEN ERA classic. Catch me if you can / Mary Poppins returns proved it again. I love love this man, the wave of cheap overhyped pop musicals flooding theatres is burying THIS - true quality. That is all, love from a huge fanboy.
So another man says that he can't compete That he can't love a moving target So another affair gets an incomplete Well, it's time to adjust my plan Cause when I'm up there on the silver screen I can make the whole world want Norma Jeane So, I can't have the love of a single man But a million or more, well that I can
This would make a much better Broadway show then doing the tv show as a musical, take Bombshell and really use it as a Broadway show fully. They have the songs to do it, and can easily add in the scenes to put it all together for a full real musical, I'm not happy about smash as a musical for Broadway.
I listen to the songs from Smash and am so sad they could never make the plots work. Such fantastic talent and awesome songs.
i guess it is kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Guillermo Brett Try FlixZone. Just google for it =)
i love the extended intro
Fade in on a girl
With a hunger for fame
And a face and a name to remember
The past fades away
Because as of this day
Norma Jeane's gone
She's moving on
Her smile and your fantasies play a duet
That will make you forget where you are
The music starts playing
It's the beat of her heart saying
Let me be your star
Flashback to a girl
With a song in her heart
As she's waiting to start the adventure
The fire and drive
That make dreams come alive
They fill her soul
She's in control
The drama, the laughter, the tears just like pearls
Well, they're all in this girl's repertoire
It's all for the taking
And it's magic we'll be making
Let me be your star
I'll just have to forget the hurt that came before
Forget what used to be
The past is on the cutting room floor
The future is here with me
Choose me!
Fade up on a star
With it all in her sights
All the love and the lights
That surround her
Someday she'll think twice
Of the dues and the price
She'll have to pay
She'll have to pay
But not today
But not today
She'll do all she can
For the love of one man
And for millions who look from afar
I'm what you've been needing
It's all here and my heart's pleading
Let me be your star!
Anyone who dislikes this is the same kind of person who hates puppies and Christmas!

I love this version it transitions it well! 3 Long live Marilyn but we love her as Norma Jeane.
I kinda really like the new ending. I MISS SMASH SO MUCH
I love Smash
i really am loving this song. I died for to sing this. Do you can say me where is possible, to buy The soundtrack? thank more
In the U.S. iTunes store. Sadly that's the only possibility..
Damn I thought this was All Star by Smash Mouth. Wrong vid.
AR E wow. Good substitute tho....
So another man says that he can't compete
That he can't love a moving target

Well, it's time to adjust my plan
Cause when I'm up there on the silver screen
I can make the whole world want Norma Jeane
So, I can't have the love of a single man
But a million or more, well that I can
still pretty amazing though :D
I wish they were doing a real production bombshell Ik about the “Smash” thing but I would prefer “Bombshell”
This would make a much better Broadway show then doing the tv show as a musical, take Bombshell and really use it as a Broadway show fully. They have the songs to do it, and can easily add in the scenes to put it all together for a full real musical, I'm not happy about smash as a musical for Broadway.
i wanted to have the show version where they all slag her off :( im sad now :(
I’m new here so can someone explain why everyone is talking about smash. What is that?
It's a musical tv show
This song is from that
Download link? I loved it!!! :D :D
Peach?!
