Marvin Hamlisch and Howard Ashman’s 'Smile' arrived triumphantly at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in 1986, running for an accomplished 48 performances and capturing several major Tony Award nominations, remaining a legendary Holy Grail monument for serious lyric stage scholars tracking short-lived titles. Based on the beloved cinematic film, the fast-paced contemporary musical comedy satire charts a tight-knit circle of teenage girls navigating the backroom calculations and rifts of a provincial California beauty pageant.
