THE BLONDE BOMBSHELL IS BACK AT HOLLYWOOD FRINGE 2026

Bombshell

Marilyn Monroe. Anna Nicole Smith. Alli Herman.
LOS ANGELES, CA – Don’t miss the world premiere of Bombshell! This explosive new show runs this June at Theatre of Note as part of the 2026 Hollywood Fringe Festival. Writer, producer, director, and performer Alli Herman makes her Fringe debut as THE Anna Nicole Smith in this one-woman show that shines a light on the real cost of fame.

Following the tense litigation around her late husband’s estate, Anna Nicole Smith attempts to contact the spirit of J. Howard Marshall in search of comfort and guidance. Instead, she discovers that being a gorgeous, blonde, sex symbol isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Grief, scandal, legacy – Anna grapples with them all as she fights to hold on to what her life was and what she dreamed it would be. Join her to uncover what might be lurking in the shadows of success as she questions what it means to be a “real” woman in Hollywood.
