'''''Hannah Montana''''' is an [[United States|American]] [[television series]] which debuted on [[March 24]], [[2006]] on [[Disney Channel]]. The series focuses on [[Miley Stewart]] played by [[Miley Cyrus]], who lives a [[Alter ego|double life]] as an average teenage girl at school during the day and a famous pop singer, Hannah Montana, at night, concealing her real identity from the public other than her close friends and family. |
|||
==Plot== |
|||
The series is set in California. The show centers on 14-year-old [[Miley Stewart]] (played by [[Miley Cyrus]]). She's a normal teenage girl who has a big secret. Only her close family and best friends (including boyfriend [[Jake Ryan (Hannah Montana)|Jake Ryan]]) knows that she is the famous pop superstar, Hannah Montana. She lives in a house by the beach with her father [[Robby Ray Stewart|Robby Ray]] (played by Miley's real life father [[Billy Ray Cyrus]]) and 16-year-old brother [[Jackson Stewart (character)|Jackson]] (played by [[Jason Earles]]). The Stewarts are from [[Nashville, Tennessee]]. Miley's mother died leaving singer-songwriter Robby a widower and the sole caretaker of their children, giving up his previous career as a famous country singer. He is also the disguised manager of Hannah Montana. Miley's two best friends [[Lilly Truscott]] (played by [[Emily Osment]]) and [[Oliver Oken|Oliver Oken]] (played by [[Mitchel Musso]]) also live nearby and attend school with her. Each episode deals with life, personal conflicts, or problems that are easily solved, with lessons learned by the show's end. |

==Production== |
|||
The show is co-created by [[Michael Poryes]], who also co-created the hit [[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.<ref>Jacques Steinburg, [http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/20/arts/television/20cyru.html?_r=1&oref=slogin "A Tale of Two Tweens: One Real and One Disney"], ''The New York Times'', April 20, 2006.</ref> |
|||
The original idea for this show was based on the ''[[That's So Raven]]'' episode "Goin' Hollywood" was supposed to be the pilot episode for a sitcom called ''Better Days'' in which a child star of a popular TV show of the same name was to try her hand at going to a normal school. The episode "[[New Kid in School]]" has the basic premise as that aforementioned episode. The series' working title was changed to ''The Idol Life'', but was later changed again to ''Hannah Montana''.{{verify source}} Other names considered for the title were ''The Secret Life of Zoe Stewart'' (discarded as too similar to [[Zoey 101]] on [[Nickelodeon]]), ''The Popstar Life!'', and ''Alexis Texas'', (scrapped as it would portray the state as too hillbilly). Former ''[[American Juniors]]'' finalist [[Jordan McCoy]], Pop/R&B singer [[JoJo (singer)|JoJo]] (who rejected the role), and actress [[Alyson Stoner]] were considered for the role of Zoe Stewart. Miley Cyrus originally auditioned for the role of the "best friend"<ref name="DVD">{{cite web |

}}</ref> Lilly Romero, later changed to Lilly Truscott, but they thought she would be better for the [[Protagonist|main character]], so she tried out for Zoe Stewart/Hannah Montana. Zoe Stewart was later changed to Chloe Stewart (due mainly to the release of Nickelodeon's new show [[Zoey 101]]), which was eventually changed to Miley when she got the part. The names of Hannah Montana were changed a few times. Three of the previous names were Anna Cabana, Samantha York, and Alexis Texas. Alexis Texas was almost used, but they thought that it would overrate [[Texas]] as a hillbilly state. |

In December 2006, Disney announced plans to release Hannah Montana products including clothing apparel, stationery and dolls.<ref>''[http://www.quote.com/qc/news/story.aspx?symbols=NYSE:DIS&story=200612071300_BWR_86632519 Disney Launches Hannah Montana Products]'' URL accessed [[December 26]], [[2006]]</ref> [[Play Along Toys]] will be releasing the Hannah and Miley dolls and other merchandise. ''Hannah Montana'' is signed for at least one more season according to [[Disney Channel]]. Filming for the second season started in December. The new season started in April, 2007, in which she is in high school.<ref>Season 2 episodes</ref> |
|||
==Theme Song & Opening== |
|||
The theme song for ''Hannah Montana'' is "The Best of Both Worlds" written by [[Matthew Gerrard]] and [[Robbie Nevil]], produced by Gerrard and performed by Miley Cyrus (as Hannah Montana). [[John Carta]], who also composes the music cues to signify scene changes and commercial breaks, composed the music for the song. The song's lyrics describe the basic premise of the television series. |
|||
The full-length version, which is 2:54 (minutes/seconds) in length, was included on the show's soundtrack, released in October 2006. For the TV version of the theme, which lasts only 63 seconds, stanzas one and two and stanzas seven and eight were used. |
|||
"Just Like You" and "The Other Side of Me" were originally tested for the opening theme song, before "Best of Both Worlds" was chosen as the theme.{{fact|date=February 2007}} |
|||
The opening sequence is set on a concert stage and features episode clips of each cast member when each cast member's name appears. Each cast member's name is "wiped" on the screen in a marquee light style. The sequence then switches to full screen episode clips (most of the clips used in the season one version of the sequence were of the early produced episodes) with the creator's names appearing in the second-to-last clip. The show's title logo design appears at the beginning and again at the end of the sequence (the latter portion as with most other portions of the sequence on the "concert stage" feature Cyrus as her character Hannah Montana).<ref>Opening sequence</ref> |
