CABIN IN THE SKY's Carly Hughes Lands Role in ABC Comedy Pilot

By:

Broadway leading lady Carly Hughes has landed a series regular role on ABC's single-camera pilot THE SECOND FATTEST HOUSEWIFE IN WESTPORT, from ABC Studios.

Written by Sarah Dunn and directed by Ruben Fleischer, THE SECOND FATTEST HOUSEWIFE IN WESTPORT is narrated by Katie (Katy Mixon), a (slightly) larger, strong-willed mother raising her flawed family of three in a wealthy town filled with "perfect" wives and their "perfect" offspring.

Hughes will play 'Angela', a hip, brutally honest woman who is going through a messy divorce.

Dunn executive produces with Aaron Kaplan, Rick Wiener and Kenny Schwartz.

This will mark Hughes' network debut, she was recently seen as 'Georgia Brown' in Encores! CABIN IN THE SKY at New York City Center and in the Broadway productions of CHICAGO as 'Velma Kelly' and PIPPIN as 'The Leading Player'.
