Hannah Montana mania peaks in Cleveland






CLEVELAND -- Parents spent hundreds of dollars to get their children tickets and souvenirs for today's Disney show. Fifteen-year-old Miley Cyrus has shot from obscurity to stardom. Her TV character, Hannah Montana, has become an adolescent icon. Her concert tour was sold out in about four minutes.

It seems every adolescent knows the Hannah Montana television story line.

"She's a special girl who has two lives," Akron fan, Callie Skeans, said. "And nobody knows who she really is except her best friend."

Parents doing almost anything to make sure their kids get to see their favorite star up close and personal at Quicken Loans Arena in downtown Cleveland, Ohio.

"It's huge," said Chris Staniek. "We couldn't get tickets in Detroit and this was only three hours away. So we drove down here and got lucky!"

"I don't think you can compare it to anything. This is amazing. It's crazy", said Janice Brown from Rochester Hills, Michigan.

"This is as big as anything I've ever seen," said Carla O'Neal. She brought her daughter Janai to see the big show at the "Q."
