The “Will & Grace” alum — who plays musical writer Julia Houston on the new NBC series — turned heads in a purple satin dress, contrasting turquoise earrings, faux fur, and playful Jerome C. Rousseau sandals while out and about in the Big Apple.

The 27-year-old singer — whose new NBC show got off to a strong start on Monday night — was simply stunning in a white cap-sleeved Valentino frock. Stacked bracelets, a diamond cocktail ring, and nude Christian Louboutin pumps completed her elegant ensemble.

I instantly fell in love with the stories and the music – and that’s when I became a huge fan of Bernadette Peters. Her performance was thrilling and ultimately inspired me to seriously consider a career in the performing arts. Who knew that years later I would be lucky enough to play her daughter in a TV show about musical theater?! It’s the ultimate definition of a dream coming true!”</span></p>http://smashlover.tumblr.com/post/17052633113http://smashlover.tumblr.com/post/17052633113Sun, 05 Feb 2012 06:01:08 +0800nbcsmashmegan hiltyivy lynn<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyw2hs5Ynq1rnitm0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>Debra Messing</span><br/><span>“The first Broadway show I saw was ‘Annie’ and it was life-changing.

Twenty years ago, I found myself in the audience for one of the very first performances of The Blue Man Group. I remember wishing that more theater could be like this, as the grand final e came to an end, and we found ourselves unspooling hundreds of toilet rolls over our heads while those funny little blue guys kept whacking their drums full of paint. I wish I could say I’d been to a profound production of ‘The Iceman Cometh,’ but it was blue men and drumming for me.”</span></p>http://smashlover.tumblr.com/post/17052611040http://smashlover.tumblr.com/post/17052611040Sun, 05 Feb 2012 06:00:44 +0800nbcsmashjack davenportderek wills<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyw2gwXn881rnitm0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>Jaime Cepero</span><br/><span>“When I was around 12 years old, I think the closest thing to Broadway I’d ever experienced was a Christmas play at church. There was a PBS ‘Great Performances’ showing of ‘Into the Woods’ that I happened to catch on TV. Everything about it made me happy – especially the music. But Bernadette Peters and Joanna Gleason absolutely blew me away with their performances. From then on, it was Broadway or bust.”</span></p>http://smashlover.tumblr.com/post/17052599692http://smashlover.tumblr.com/post/17052599692Sun, 05 Feb 2012 06:00:31 +0800nbcsmashJaime CeperoEllis Tancharoen<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyw2glBm1z1rnitm0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>Raza Jaffrey</span><br/><span>“My earliest trip to a West End theater was to see ‘The Sound of Music’ at The Apollo Victoria in London. I can’t remember much about the show (my intermission ice cream aside!) – but I do remember wishing I was up there doing what those children were doing. And although it took me a few years, I was pretty delighted to find myself back there, up on the stage this time, for my own opening night of’ ‘Bombay Dreams.’”</span></p>http://smashlover.tumblr.com/post/17052589356http://smashlover.tumblr.com/post/17052589356Sun, 05 Feb 2012 06:00:21 +0800nbcsmashraza jaffreyDev Sundaram<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyw2fzT60l1rnitm0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>Anjelica Huston</span><br/><span>“The first time I came to Broadway was in 1969, as an understudy for Ophelia, in Tony Richardson’s production of Hamlet at the Lunt-Fontanne.

But Francesca Annis replaced Marianne when the production traveled to New York City, and Francesca was not an understudy’s dream…much to my disappointment, she never missed a performance!”</span></p>http://smashlover.tumblr.com/post/17052569717http://smashlover.tumblr.com/post/17052569717Sun, 05 Feb 2012 05:59:59 +0800nbcsmashanjelica hustoneileen rand<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyw2fkQWZC1rnitm0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>Brian d’Arcy James</span><br/><span>“The first Broadway show I saw was ‘Dreamgirls’ at the Imperial. Absolutely loved the show. What struck me first, however, was how close in proximity all the theaters on 45th Street were to each other, each marquee shining brighter than the next. Twenty-five years later, I played the Imperial with ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,’ a very poignant, full-circle moment.”</span></p>http://smashlover.tumblr.com/post/17052555252http://smashlover.tumblr.com/post/17052555252Sun, 05 Feb 2012 05:59:44 +0800nbcsmashBrian d'Arcy Jamesfrank houston<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyw2f5prGn1rnitm0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>Christian Borle</span><br/><span>“When I first moved to New York City to try to get a job on Broadway, I would fork over my savings to see shows at theaters like The Shubert, The Richard Rodgers, The Music Box and The Palace. Sitting in the cheap, nose-bleed seats in historic old houses, watching performers the size of ants, I felt happy. Sepia-toned, toe-tapping, childhood happy. I got to walk through the stage doors of those theaters over the following years, to actually be in shows on Broadway. And that feeling — It’s technicolor, adrenaline, adult happy. ‘Smash’ feels like we’re cracking open the stage door and letting the larger world out there take a peek.”</span></p>http://smashlover.tumblr.com/post/17052540827http://smashlover.tumblr.com/post/17052540827Sun, 05 Feb 2012 05:59:29 +0800nbcsmashchristian borletom levitt<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyw2emtehV1rnitm0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>Katharine McPhee</span><br/><span>“I remember seeing ‘Les Miserables’ on my first trip to New York.
