Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said they’d often talked about launching “Bombshell” as an actual Broadway show but haven’t taken any steps to make that a reality. Zadan said he believed the cast recording for “Bombshell” could stand up with the music on any current Broadway show.

The soundtrack has music from both seasons.
