"Megan Hilty recently headlined the second of four concerts in the 2018 "Broadway @ Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts" series. Hilty is probably best known as one of the stars of the TV show "Smash" and her expert vocals and personal stories provided a rewarding evening of show tunes and humorous tales. Hosted by popular Sirius XM radio host Seth Rudetsky, who asks questions of the star for the evening while also serving as the piano accompanist, this series provides a unique way to not only hear some phenomenal vocals from Broadway performers but also get a behind the scenes look into their personal experiences as well as the business of Broadway. Rudetsky's conversation with Hilty touched on her training and education, the ups and downs in auditioning, and on three hugely successful women that helped and inspired her along the way....Hilty delivered a very fun rendition of "Popular" from Wicked and also sang a beautiful version of "Somewhere That's Green" from Little Shop of Horrors. ...She sang three songs from "Smash" that her character sang in the show, including the soaring upbeat songs "They Just Keep Moving the Line," which opened the concert in Scottsdale, "Let Me Be Your Star," and the poignant ballad "Second Hand White Baby Grand." ...Hilty said she believes there is always room for improvement, and that personal anecdote along with her down to earth delivery resonated throughout a stellar evening of stories and song....
