Megan Hilty Begins Work on Disney's PIXIE HOLLOW GAMES

Production is underway on "Pixie Hollow Games," an all-new, animated special to premiere this fall on Disney Channel. Megan Hilty stars as Rosetta. The special features a talented voice cast of Disney Channel stars including Brenda Song ("The Suite Life on Deck"), Jason Dolley ("Good Luck Charlie"), Tiffany Thornton ("So Random!") and Zendaya ("Shake It Up") as the new fairies and sparrow man who join Tinker Bell and her fairy friends to participate in the legendary Pixie Hollow Games.

The special is executive-produced by Academy Award winner John Lasseter (Disney & Pixar's "Toy Story" and "Cars" franchises) and directed by Bradley Raymond ("Tinker Bell").

In "Pixie Hollow Games," all of the fairies and sparrow men in Pixie Hollow gather for the legendary three-day Olympic-style competition event, which culminates with one fairy guild being named champion of the Games. Determined not to let the garden fairies' unfortunate history of not performing well at the Games get to her, newcomer Chloe (voiced by Brenda Song) works to convince all of the other garden fairies, which includes her teammate Rosetta (voiced by Megan Hilty) and the pragmatic Fern (voiced by Zendaya), that they must work together and dig down deep to break their well-known losing streak. Along the way, the reigning champion storm fairies, including Rumble (voiced by Jason Dolley) and Glimmer (voiced by Tiffany Thornton), continue to intimidate and outperform their competitors, but with Chloe's spirited determination, they are forced to work harder than ever before.

Megan Hilty is set to star alongside Debra Messing in the upcoming NBC show "Smash" which follows a cross section of characters who come together to put on a Marilyn Monroe musical on Broadway. "Smash" will premiere on February 5.

Megan received a Drama Desk Award Nomination, Outer Critics Circle Award Nomination and LA Ovation Nomination for her portrayal of Doralee in Broadway's 9 to 5 the Musical. A native of Seattle, Megan moved to New York City after graduating from the prestigiousCarnegie Mellon University and quickly thereafter, made her Broadway Debut as Glinda in Wicked. Megan went on to perform that role in the National Tour and in Los Angeles.

Among her television credits are: The Untitled Adam Carolla Project (Pilot), Melissa & Joey, Bones, The Closer, Desperate Housewives, CSI, Shark, Ugly Betty, Eli Stone and The Suite Life of Zach & Cody.
