"Smash" Airs Mondays on NBC (10-11 p.m. ET)

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - April 9, 2012 - The new featured song from tonight's episode of NBC's musical drama series "Smash" (Mondays, 10-11 p.m. ET), is now available from NBCUniversal Television Consumer Products and Columbia Records on the iTunes store at http://www.itunes.com/NBCSmash.

The song available for tonight's episode of "Smash," entitled "The Understudy," is:

"Never Give All the Heart" - written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman; performed by Katharine McPhee.

In tonight's episode, the show has landed a star - the mercurial Rebecca Duvall (guest star Uma Thurman), but Eileen (Anjelica Huston) is thrown into a panic when Rebecca gets stuck in Cuba. Derek (Jack Davenport) puts Karen (Katharine McPhee) in as understudy, but she must learn to perform under extreme pressure as he threatens to break her will. Tom and Julia (Christian Borle and Debra Messing) celebrate their anniversary with a ritual - and face some hard truths about what show business can do to relationships. Megan Hilty, Raza Jaffrey and Jaime Cepero also star. Uma Thurman guest stars.

"Smash" is a musical drama that celebrates the beauty and heartbreak of the Broadway theater as it follows a cross section of dreamers and schemers who all have one common desire - to be a "Smash." Evolving from an idea of executive producer and multiple Emmy and Oscar winner Steven Spielberg and created by executive producer/acclaimed playwright Theresa Rebeck, the series is also executive-produced by Darryl Frank, Justin Falvey, Craig Zadan, Neil Meron, Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.

"Smash" is a production of Universal Television in association with DreamWorks Television and Madwoman in the Attic.
