Yes that headline is meant to be literal as series star Katharine McPhee belts out a cover of Christina Aguilera's hit song Beautiful, but honestly, the trailer for Smash is actually quite a solid presentation of a show that looks like it's going to be much more than Glee for adults. From executive producer Steven Spielberg, the series follows Karen Cartwright (McPhee), a young girl from Iowa with a dream of making it on Broadway. While a veteran of the stage seems like an obvious choice to take the lead role in a new musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe, a songwriting team (Debra Messing and Christian Borle) and their tenacious producer (Anjelica Huston) just might see something in Cartwright and kick off a new chapter in all of their lives. Watch the music video style trailer for Smash after the jump.
