The cat and mouse format will pit investigative professionals vs. everyday people trying to win a $100,000 prize.
Here is an extended preview of NBC’s new show Smash with Katharine McPhee. Enjoy!!

Katharine McPhee will be coming to your TV sets each week on a new show called “Smash”. The show will air on NBC on Monday’s from 10-11pm, after “The Voice.”
There’s nothing more exciting than the opening night of a hit Broadway musical, except maybe what happens getting there. While Wicked and The Lion King pack audiences in on the Great White Way, Julia and Tom, a successful songwriting team played by Debra Messing and Christian Borle, begin work on a new musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe. When a tenacious producer (Anjelica Houston) jumps aboard, so begins the difficult task of casting the silver screen icon.
Ivy Lynn, a tough Broadway veteran, seems like the obvious choice. But enter Karen Cartwright (Katharine McPhee), a young girl from Iowa with a dream of making it on Broadway who walks in and blows everyone away. So who will get the part and begin a journey that will change their lives? It’s an age-old story, but a star just might be born once again.
While everyone is consumed with putting the show together, real life has a tendency of getting in the way. Julia and her husband are in the middle of a complicated adoption; the producer’s husband begins divorce proceedings which could threaten the finances of the show; and the brilliant but womanizing director could derail everything if he puts the young star in a compromising position. This will be a rollercoaster ride that culminates on opening night when the audience gets to determine whether or not the show is a smash!
In the era of The Voice and Glee, executive producers Steven Spielberg and Craig Zadan & Neil Meron (producers of Chicago and Hairspray), and songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray), bring you the blood, sweat, and tears of the making of a Broadway musical.

With American Idol still running decent numbers and X Factor starting in less than a year on FOX it seems that NBC is taking note and launching a reality singing competition of their own called “The Voice of America” which could launch as early as Spring 2011.
NBC is teaming with “Survivor” producer Mark Burnett and John de Mol to launch a new singing competition program that takes aim at Fox network’s “American Idol” and its upcoming series “The X Factor.”
NBC isn’t wasting any time putting its version — titled “The Voice of America” — on the air. In a very aggressive move, the show will premiere this spring — getting the jump on “X Factor” (which launches next fall) and potentially even facing “Idol” head to head.
The competition’s format is similar to “Idol,” but even closer to “X Factor,” with some notable differences from both.
“The Voice” has a panel of four coaches who also have careers as popular performing artists. During the audition rounds, the coaches sit in rotating chairs with their backs to the contestants, so they can only hear the singers, not see them. If they like the performance, they push a button, sending the contestant to the next round and claiming the contestant as one of their students.
