It’s not exactly a surprise but the news we all expected has finally arrived. NBC has officially canceled their musical series Smash after two seasons. Even if the show was a mess lately, I’m going to be sad to see it go. The cast, well most of it, was so wonderful. I loved seeing them together. I haven’t been able to catch up with the show since the network moved it to Saturday nights so I can’t comment on how much of a mess the second season spiraled into.
What a lovely present NBC is presenting us unceremoniously in burlap gift bags and wrapped with a bow. But again, I will miss the cast. And hey, it’s not like this show is any worse than Glee with, incidentally, has become unwatchable. Smash will conclude the sophomore run with the series finale on a special night. The episode will air Sunday, May 26th.
Will you miss the show? I’m not sure if I mentioned, but I’m really going to miss the cast. And Anjelica Huston’s hair.
NBC has announced the official lineup for their 2013 concert series. The event will take place all Summer long at Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. The first concert will take place on May 23rd with fun. kicking off the first show. The lineup is so big this year, fans are reminded that space is limited and the earlier they arrive the better.

These acts are all pretty awesome. I think I’d want to see most of them. Playing in New York City must be a dream come true for any musician. I imagine a few of these acts will bust out some sancho panza and champagne to celebrate the occasion. Will any of you be attending? Let us know below who you are most excited to see perform!
