Megan Hilty, Geneva Carr & More Broadway Faves Tapped for TV Land's I Shudder

After Tony winner Sutton Foster has proven such a big hit for TV Land, it's no wonder the network is looking to the Great White Way again for one of it's upcoming projects! Broadway bombshell Megan Hilty, Hand to God’s Geneva Carr and fellow Main Stem alums John Behlmann and Brooklyn Shuck have been tapped for I Shudder. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hilty will play the female lead in Paul Rudnick‘s dark comedy pilot opposite stage and screen star Hamish Linklater.

I Shudder will follow a scrupulous but kind man, Elyot Vionnet (Linklater) who views the world in very black and white terms. He befriends his 11-year-old neighbor Stella (Shuck), and they attempt to make the world better one tactless person at a time. Hilty and Behlmann will play her demanding parents, Sara and Drake Morelle. Carr is set to take on the role of another neighbor, the sanctimonious Susan Marie.

Hilty’s previous small screen credits include Smash and Sean Save the World. She has appeared on the Great White Way in 9 to 5 and Wicked and will return to the Main Stem this spring in Noises Off. Carr received a Tony nomination earlier this year for her Main Stem debut in Hand to God. She has previously appeared off-Broadway in Rose’s Dilemma and The Vagina Monologues. Behlmann made his Broadway debut in Journey's End and recently appeared off-Broadway in Significant Other. His additional stage credits include Pretty Filty, The 39 Steps and Wild Animals You Should Know. Shuck starred on the Great White Way as the titular bookworm in Matilda.
