Synopsis
At first glance, Miley Stewart is a typical tween who lives with her widowed dad (a songwriter) and older brother. But unbeknownst to her friends and classmates, Miley is also the world famous pop star Hannah Montana.
With a little creative costuming, Miley has discovered she can have the best of both worlds – the fame and fortune of a famous singer and the fun of middle school with her best friends Lilly and Oliver.
That is until Lilly stumbles across Miley's secret...
Hannah Montana is an original series produced specifically for the Disney Channel by It's A Laugh Productions.
