It’s so refreshing to hear music that sounds like “Broadway” - rich, full orchestrations; strong melody and themes, and intricate chordage - bless the superb writing team of Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.
OH WOW... I didn't know there was a Broadway show! I remember loving the show when it was on NBC! 🎭 🗽 ✨ Robyn has an AMAZING voice, and I see that a Cast Recording is coming soon... As I will likely never be able to make it to the show, I will DEFINITELY pick that up!
Upon first listen, I was surprised! As a big fan of the original show cast album, it felt different listening to? But, it’s a good different! I’m excited to see what else the show will have in store for us in the future. Robyn Hurder is SO suited for the role, and I am beyond excited. I’m familiar with the original show so it’s hard to look past original decisions, but this release is a really good sign for songs in the future broadway cast recording. I can’t say I’m totally surprised since Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman’s SMASH show album and SLIH cast recording are both lovely to listen to!
Sooooo excited!!! Loved the show. Gonna be sooooo great on stage. Robyn is spectacular. Can't wait to hear Caroline do the Karen stuff....... Also shout out to one of my best friends who is in the orchestra for it...... She's one of the Woodwind doubling girls..... Erika Friedman!!! Sooooo proud of you!!
I've loved Robyn Hurder since I first saw her in MOULIN ROUGE. She deserved a Tony for that performance. I was so excited to hear that she would be starring in SMASH The Musical and look forward to seeing her on Broadway.
@@anaclarke1003 Context is also key. The original song was to conclude a 40 min episode of television, this version here is to OPEN a 2.5-hour musical. LOL.
SOOOO happy they didn't just do a copy and paste of the original version, which was brilliant in its own right, but this just sounds more showtune-y and grand. Robyn is incredible, I saw her as Velma Kelly last year, she was so great!
This seems like such a broadway spectacle and in so pumped. It’s giving golden age ish. I know it’s not. But it gives me such a happy vibe! I don’t even know how to describe it. So pumped!🥹🩷
As a fan of the OG show I cannot wait to listen to the album of this version. its going to be so interesting how they'll reinterpret the bombshell musical lyrics and composing. I also find it interesting how they are making a musical about the show but haven't or have yet to officially release bombshell & hit list as an actual broadway show I bet loads of audiences would pay to see both for various reasons. I especially love how they reworked "lets be bad" for the recent some like it hot musical from Bombshell also inspired by a Monroe film. Marilyn still to this day seems to have DNA'd herself into every aspect of pop culture from playing the victim to being her own boss to how she looked, her Idea of being a sex symbol and so on and so forth.
I love this! The original still exists and this version tickles my curiosity loads. It makes me want to find our how they have reworked the story. The original tv show wasn't always the best written and from this song I get the sense that the broadway show will be much tighter in terms of storyline. Can't wait!
Love this rework. It feels both fresh and new, but like seeing an old friend all at the same time. Robyn is bringing everything we needed for Ivy too, so excited to see this hit the stage - Finally!!!
I like the faster tempo and the melodic changes. This is going to be one helluva show! Robyn and the cast sound terrific and the orchestra,well, smashes it!!!
I missed the original melody lines and the original tempo and rhythm, but this version is excellent. I know that in the show it's gonna be the ballad and other versions more lol
Still looking for the whole show. Though feel weird about this version. But there will be multiple versions of this song….maybe the original version will be one of these versions…. I wish.
I was surprised to hear the opening of Public Relations! I'm still not sure how I feel about all the lyrics of this reworking, but I'm curious to find out what the rest of the show will be like.
The key is different. I am still partial to the original because it feels grittier. This new one incorporates sounds more fun. Robyn sounds spectacular with that Maryiln-like voice.
i understand the changes to open the musical, but the original can also be done exactly how it was used to connect the characters idk... maybe they could've written a new song to open the show? not vibing with this...this is a song about karen and ivy going in for the role and that tension is what we love about it. it's about the two girls, not everything else.

THE BLENDING of Public Relations and Let Me Be Your Star is a Genius move. No further statements. Its GIVING and we are certainly RECEIVING
This reworking is GENIUS, and she sounds incredible. I'm so interested to see how the show works structurally.
First listening : it's different. Second one : ok it's so goooooood, so catchy ! Love it

the amount of references in 3 minutes I'm in love
This is why I love broadway just hearing the opening music takes me back to seeing broadway musicals with my late nana
she has a fantastic voice.

Both the original and opening number are sooo great in their own ways! LOVE the Public Relations easter eggs❤️❤️

Theatre is back 🎉🎉🎉

I feel like you don't need to fix what's not broken... I prefer the original.
This is just the opening version. They have the original in the show too

@@jpsketch03also this is about Marilyn, the original was about Karen and Ivy

i'm already OBSESSED!
OMG!!! I can't wait, big fan of Smash here!!!
This seems like such a broadway spectacle and in so pumped. It’s giving golden age ish. I know it’s not. But it gives me such a happy vibe! I don’t even know how to describe it. So pumped!🥹🩷
I want to see Megan Hilty watch this and react
Unfortunately she's doing Death Becomes Her eight shows a week, so I'm not sure if she'll have time.
@@jasobres I wouldn't be surprised if she takes a night off to go to opening night
I’m holding space for Don’t Forget Me.

I've never been so happy! 😭😭
This actress is new to me. But she is a STAR!!!!
So exited !!!
See you 3/22!!!

Robyn is fantastic.
IM SO EXCITEDDDD
It's new, but I like how new it is. Definitely an interesting departure from the original but still amazing!
ROBYN! fabulous!!!
I I still can't believe this is happening 😭
I hope Don't Forget Me is in the show, would love to hear their version of it.
Goose Bumps …. The cast… Robyn’s voice SOARS!!! THe more versions the better… orchestra sounds so full and rich …. Merde everyone
AHHH IM SO EXCITED
I’m SORRYYY???!! This is BRILLIANT!!
Please can we have a cast recording ASAP I’m excited to see it opening preview
Definitely different than the original.
I'm guessing the version we're familiar with featuring Karen and Ivy will serve as a reprise and the act 1 closing number.
The og version of the song is still in the show guys!!!
Still looking for the whole show. Though feel weird about this version.
But there will be multiple versions of this song….maybe the original version will be one of these versions…. I wish.
They said the OG version is in the show in a reply on Instagram
@@jaydenpresley1429either for Karen or her and Ivy
I'm gonna have to adjust to the new lyrics and arrangement, but it sounds great!
I was surprised to hear the opening of Public Relations! I'm still not sure how I feel about all the lyrics of this reworking, but I'm curious to find out what the rest of the show will be like.
That's where I am at.
Please tell me the original Let Me be your star is still in the musical
OMMGGGGG 😍😍😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
RoByN is my faaaaavorite!!!!
Ugh no. I understand lyric changes but the melody of Let Me Your Star was perfect and needed no changes.
There are several versions of the song in the show.
This is way too fast.
PUBLIC RELATIONS!!!!
Please fix the auto tune on her first line! There’s a defect on ‘remember’ and it’s horrible
The key is different. I am still partial to the original because it feels grittier. This new one incorporates sounds more fun. Robyn sounds spectacular with that Maryiln-like voice.
I can definitely say I’ll be singing along.
Why 😢
Why are they singing so fast? Slow down! This song is a classic....
title: *clearly states opening version which means a different take of the song*
some commenters: AWAAAAAA AWAAAAA THEY CHANGED IT, THEY RUINED IT
❤❤❤❤
Seems too fast to me. That’s okay if this is a reprise, but as an opening number, it’s too hurried.
Want to sing it?: th-cam.com/video/Eng5upLpnao/w-d-xo.html

they literally said in the post that the OG Version is in the show, there’s a reason opening version is in parentheses
Y'all really need to learn to read.
The original is much better I’m sorry
They better not axe Public Relations for this SHEIN version of LMBYS
She's hopelessly miscast
The song lost all its soul, heart and conviction. Not loving it. Feels like a franken-song. 👎
Frankensong! Yes!
There are several versions in the musical. It's not replacing the original.
