Biography

Hannah Montana is an Emmy Award-nominated American television series, which debuted on March 24, 2006 on Disney Channel. The series focuses on a girl who lives a double life as an average teenage school girl named Miley Stewart (played by Miley Cyrus) by day and a famous pop singer named Hannah Montana by night, concealing her real identity from the public, other than her close friends and family.

On April 9, 2008, it was announced that Hannah Montana would return for a third season in 2008 and production started on August 4, 2008. Season 3 premiered on November 2, 2008, and is still filming. Hannah Montana Season 3 will start in the UK on the 2nd March 2009. On April 10th 2009 “Hannah Montana: The Movie” will come out in theatres.

The movie that will come out in cinemas is about Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) an alter ego pop star Hannah Montana goes back to her home state of Tennessey after getting into a shoe fight.

Cyrus’ real-life father Billy Ray Cyrus stars as Miley Stewart’s father and Hannah Montana’s songwriter/manager Robby Stewart. Jason Earles stars as brother Jackson Stewart, and Miley Stewart’s two best friends Lilly Truscott and Oliver Oken are played by Emily Osment and Mitchel Musso, respectively. The show’s theme song is “Best of Both Worlds,” performed by Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana, who also performs the songs that are featured on the show. When Miley Cyrus originally auditioned for the part, the producers turned her down, but later called back saying she could have the part and that they would like for her father to play on the show also.

The show is co-created by Michael Poryes, who also co-created another Disney Channel Original Series “That’s So Raven” and is produced by It’s a Laugh Productions, Inc., in association with Disney. The series premiere scored record ratings for Disney Channel: 5.4 million viewers, a response “beyond our wildest expectations,” according to the president of Disney Channel Entertainment. Hannah Montana is believed to be so popular due to it’s appeal to teen audiences and it’s comedy factor which is quite strong in all of the It’s a Laugh Productions.

Montana became the hottest touring act of 2007 when tickets for her “Best of Both Worlds” United States tour sold out within minutes online, resulting in hugely inflated prices of up to $2,000 from resale outlets throughout the nation. The tour, accompanied by Disney cronies Jonas Brothers, featured both Miley Cyrus and her alter-ego identity Hannah Montana. Due to the record-breaking success of this tour, Disney announced another United States tour for 2008. Ticket sales did just as well as the previous tour and gave other Montana fans who weren’t fortunate enough to see the first tour a chance to see the teen pop sensation live.

In early 2007, Disney announced plans to release Hannah Montana products including clothing apparel, stationery, and dolls. Hannah Montana is currently on its second season, and “Hannah Montana 3D: The Movie” will hit theaters in early 2009.
