  • In the lifespan of Joe Iconis's song "Broadway, Here I Come!, there are two distinct periods: pre-Smash and post-Smash. Before it became the linchpin number of the short-lived television show's second season, Iconis's tune was mostly viewed as the story of someone jumping off a building onto the street called Broadway. After Smash'', 90% of listeners started considering it an anthemic ballad about making it in the theater industry. Iconis, for his part, thinks it's a little bit of both, and is happy either way. Here, he tells us why.

    You know something’s up when you listen to the song and don’t even realize that it’s also about making it on broadway.

    The timing is so perfect! I just performed this song and will perform it again soon so this insight is really amazing!
    I definitely wanna play it more straight and serious one day too, so far I went more down the "making it on Broadway" route because it worked better with the audience. Really cool, love Joe Iconis

    Love your work Joe. This song has always struck a chord in me. I dream of becoming an actor and hopefully making it to broadway one day. I always thought this was so chillingly beautiful because of the double meaning behind the song. 💕💕💕

    I sort of always knew about the suicide aspect of the song, but now he explains it more and I listen closely; I am thinking "Wow, how morbid." Definitely changed the image of the song for me. Help?

    Still wondering if they would ever consider making the musical in Smash into a Broadway show

    Except the last two lines are about the person's suicide.
