Robyn Hurder, currently starring as Ivy Lynn in the Broadway musical adaptation of Smash, highlights the importance of family balance in her life. After the show's opening, she expresses her joy in returning home to her husband and child. With a Broadway career spanning over 20 years, Hurder recalls her first impactful experience watching Damn Yankees at age 11, solidifying her desire to perform. She discusses her pre-show routine, which includes a workout to ensure sheâs physically ready for the demanding schedule of eight shows a week.
I get a little cuckoo when I don't get to have that proper balance of home life. I feel more in touch with myself again.
My parents brought me to New York for the first time when I was 11 and I saw Damn Yankees and that changed my whole world.
I will always get to the theater two hours before the show starts. I start with a dance cardio workout for about 15 minutes.
The stage adaptation isn't a direct retelling of the original TV show, but some of the original characters and story arcs remain.
