Jennifer Hudson Joins ‘Smash’ Broadway Producing Team
Jennifer Hudson, who guest starred on NBC's Smash, is now joining the producing team of its upcoming stage musical adaptation.
Executive producers included Steven Spielberg, Neil Meron and Craig Zadan, Marc Shaiman, Scott Wittman, Darryl Frank, Justin Falvey, David Marshall Grant, and Joshua Safran. Hudson’s participation reunites her with Smash composers Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, and producers Robert Greenblatt and Neil Meron, the team behind NBC’s 2016 Hairspray Live!, the musical special in which she played the role of Motormouth Maybelle. The musical’s book will be co-written by Rick Elice (currently repped on Broadway with Water For Elephants) and Bob Martin ( The Prom, The Drowsy Chaperone).
