Cheerleaders Bring It On

Inspired by the hit film, Bring It On the Musical takes audiences on a journey filled with the complexities of friendship, jealousy, betrayal, and forgiveness. It will have its Australian Premiere at NIDA Theatres, Kensington playing from Saturday 27 June to Thursday 9 July 2015.

Bring It On features an original story by Tony Award winner Jeff Whitty (Avenue Q), music and lyrics by Tony Award-winning composer Lin-Manuel Miranda (In The Heights), music by Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning composer Tom Kitt (Next To Normal), lyrics by Amanda Green (High Fidelity) and was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Musical.

A cast of 27 young performers play characters including Campbell, captain of the Truman High School cheer squad, who is suddenly forced to spend her final year of high school at the neighbouring, hard knock Jackson High School.

Despite having the deck stacked against her, Campbell befriends the dance crew girls and, along with their headstrong and hardworking leader Danielle, manages to form a powerhouse squad for the ultimate competition - the National Championships.
