NBC and Columbia Records have announced that they will be releasing a 22-track cast recording of the fictional musical Bombshell, the show-within-a-show that serves as the focal point of the hit TV show Smash, on February 12.
The album, handed out at yesterday’s Television Critics’ Association press tour, will feature music from both seasons of Smash, and the voices of stars Katherine McPhee (American Idol) and Megan Hilty (9 to 5) as well as other Smash, or rather Bombshell, cast members.
Season 2 of Smash will premiere on NBC on February 5th, right before the album drops. The all-star cast includes the Emmy Award winner Debra Messing (Will and Grace) as Julia Houston as well as Broadway veteran Tony Award winner Christian Borle (Peter and the Starcatcher) as Tom Levitt. They will be joined by more heavy hitters, like Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls), Tony Award nominee Jeremy Jordan (Newsies), and Emmy Award winner and Messing’s fellow Will and Grace alum Sean Hayes.
