As Jerry Stevens, resident composer in the fictional Broadway universe of Smash, John Behlmann is constantly hit with the cutting words, “I never liked you, Jerry!” Lucky for him, there’s a welcoming home right here at Broadway.com where he’s signing in for “Jerry Duty,” the latest backstage vlog taking audiences behind the scenes of the behind-the-scenes musical romp.
On episode four, Behlmann commemorates the Broadway equivalent of a spring break: two consecutive days off. He asks his castmates how they spent their days away from the Imperial Theatre, and some ambitious actors turned 36 hours into a full vacation. Behlmann also takes us on a trip to Schmackary’s to taste-test the new Smash-themed blondie (get it?) and lets us be a fly on the wall at lift call.
Episodes of Jerry Duty premiere weekly on Tuesday. You can also catch highlights on The Broadway Show with Tamsen Fadal.
