Megan Hilty made her Broadway debut as Glinda in Wicked and starred in the role in the Los Angeles production. She is a recent graduate of the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama. Credits include "Café" (City Theatre), "Suds" (OCT) and "The Wild Party" (CMU). Megan is a recipient of the National Society of Arts and Letters Award for Excellence in Musical Theater. Currently, Hilty stars as Broadway star in the making, Ivy Lynn, on NBC's Smash.

"Smash" is a musical drama that celebrates the beauty and heartbreak of the Broadway theater as it follows a cross-section of dreamers and schemers who all have one common desire - to be a "Smash."

In Season 2, the "Bombshell" team is one step closer to achieving their Broadway dream. The Boston run was the success the team was hoping for, including producer Eileen Rand (Academy Award winner Anjelica Huston, "Prizzi's Honor"), writers Tom Levitt (Tony Award winner Christian Borle, "Peter and the Starcatcher") and Julia Houston (Emmy Award winner Debra Messing, "Will & Grace"), last-minute star Karen Cartwright (Katharine McPhee, "American Idol") and director Derek Wills (Jack Davenport, "Pirates of the Caribbean"). But, they are all about to learn even a charmed show cannot avoid paying for sins of the past.
