“…opening number truly dazzles…” New York Times
“A long time since I enjoyed a new musical quite as much as Bring It On: The Musical” The Huffington Post
BRING IT ON THE MUSICAL tells the story of the challenges and unexpected bonds formed through the thrill of extreme competition when rival high school cheer squads perform explosive dance and aerial stunts, tumbling and flipping across the stage, performing elaborate routines culminating in towering formations of human pyramids.
“high energy stage spectacle” News Observer
A colourful cast of 27 bright, young performers, including cheer-royalty Campbell, captain of the Truman High School cheer squad, 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.
Bringing this Australian Premiere to life will be Director, Rod Herbert, Musical Director Anne-Maree McDonald, Choreographer Tracey Rasmussen, and Stunt Choreographer Melissa McKenzie.

Feedback/Comments
A high energy musical full of great music and dance routines. It is wonderful to see such talent amongst a young cast. Young teenagers will love this stage production - I enjoyed listening to the young people seated around me and their reaction and laughter to some scenes. The musical does branch a little from the movie so for die-hard fans of the movie it will be a little different. They also added in some modern lines in relation to Facebook and Twitter - moving with the times! The venue for this musical was fantastic - any seat in the theatre would give you a great view. For those taking younger children, there are a few swear words throughout but it is not overly offensive. It was certainly an enjoyable day out watching this musical!
