Hannah Montana Fever Hits Home


The Hannah Montana craze is sweeping across the country. Even my five year-old daughter is hooked! Disney's Hannah Montana is an American Emmy Award-nominated children's show featuring young Miley Cyrus, the 15 year-old daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. The show first aired on March 24, 2006. In the sitcom, Miley is caught between two worlds, one as an ordinary teenager trying to fit into high school, get good grades and appease her dad, played by Billy Ray himself, and then segue into her rock star persona (Hannah Montana). Beautiful and talented Hannah Montana is selling out stadiums across the country attracting thousands of teens, tweens and preschoolers. Some newspapers report that parents who are unable to purchase tickets are willing to pay thousands of dollars just to get their hands on them. We aren't quite ready to head off in that direction yet. For now, my daughter and I occasionally watch the show and listen to her music.

A woman I work with just spent $500 on Hannah Montana tickets for her and her daughter.

That's crazy.
