Bombshell News! Megan Hilty Signs on to Play a Broadway Diva in Judah Miller TV Pilot

Let her be your star indeed! Smash standout Megan Hilty will once again play a Broadway actress on the small screen. The new mom has signed on as the lead in the pilot of Judah Miller’s untitled comedy for ABC.

The show follows Hilty as a flamboyant Tony-winning diva adjusting to being a suburban mom. She is forced outside her comfort zone when she realizes her son is more into sports than show tunes—he’s a natural-born competitive athlete. (The horror!)

Besides her role on Smash (in which she had Bernadette Peters playing her Tony-winning mom), Hilty is known for starring on Broadway as Glinda in Wicked and Doralee in 9 to 5 as well as TV’s Sean Saves the World.

Miller, the writer and executive producer of the project, knows all about Broadway stars; he’s married to Hairspray Tony winner Marissa Jaret Winokur.
