NEW MUSIC FROM TONIGHT'S EPISODE OF NBC'S CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED MUSICAL DRAMA "SMASH" AVAILABLE TODAY ON ITUNES

"Smash" Airs Mondays on NBC (10-11 p.m. ET)

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - May 7, 2012 - The new featured song from tonight's episode of NBC's musical drama series "Smash" (Mondays, 10-11 p.m. ET), is now available from NBCUniversal Television

Consumer Products and Columbia Records on the iTunes store at http://www.itunes.com/NBCSmash. NBC also provides episode recaps, games, photos, videos, musical performance highlights and even fan challenges each week at http://www.nbc.com/smash/.

The song available for tonight's episode of "Smash," entitled "Previews," is:

"Smash!" - written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman; performed by Katharine McPhee and Megan Hilty.

In tonight's episode, "Bombshell" faces its first audience just as a major crisis hits Rebecca Duvall (special guest star Uma Thurman). The team of Tom (Christian Borle) and Julia (Debra Messing) scramble to fix the show when the first preview falls short, and Frank (Brian D'Arcy James) must adjust to the unwelcome return of Michael Swift (Will Chase) into his life. Dev (Raza Jaffrey) seeks reconciliation with Karen (Katharine McPhee), but explosive information about Ivy (Megan Hilty) lurks just beneath the surface. Jack Davenport and Anjelica Huston also star.

"Smash" is a musical drama that celebrates the beauty and heartbreak of the Broadway theater as it follows a cross section of dreamers and schemers who all have one common desire - to be a "Smash." Evolving from an idea of executive producer and multiple Emmy and Oscar winner Steven Spielberg and created by executive producer/acclaimed playwright Theresa Rebeck, the series is also executive-produced by Darryl Frank, Justin Falvey, Craig Zadan, Neil Meron, Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.

"Smash" is a production of Universal Television in association with DreamWorks Television and Madwoman in the Attic.
