Theatrical Inc’s BRING IT ON THE MUSICAL To Open At The National Theatre In July

Bring It On The Musical has firmly established itself as a contemporary classic since its premiere in 2011. In July, Melbourne’s beloved independent theatre group, Theatrical Inc will bring Bring It On’s renowned athleticism and high energy to The National Theatre in St Kilda from July 11th to July 26th.

Based on the beloved hit film franchise, Bring it On this award-winning musical follows the journey of Cameron, champion teen cheerleader Campbell, who finds herself at a crossroads when she is redistricted from her affluent high school to the rival high school, Jackson High.

 

 

In a bid for victory, she joins forces with their fearless dance crew to compete against her old squad at the Cheerleading Nationals. The clever story highlights the clash between these two social worlds, bringing to the stage diverse perspectives that brought depth and comedy to the universal high school experience well ahead of its time in the early 2000s..

Boasting a prestigious creative lineage of Broadway’s finest, the show features a high-energy score collaboration between Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, In The Heights) and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Tom Kitt (American Idiot, Jagged Little Pill) – and a witty book by Tony Award winner Jeff Whitty (Avenue Q). This powerhouse creative team led the original Broadway production to earn 2013 Tony Award nominations for both Best Musical and Best Choreography.

Director Tahra Cannon:

We’re incredibly excited by the progress of Bring It On: The Musical. Every rehearsal continues to showcase the exceptional talent, dedication and versatility within this cast. The energy, athleticism and commitment these performers bring to the production is truly impressive, and it’s been exciting to watch the show grow week by week. Audiences can expect a vibrant, high-energy production filled with outstanding performances and plenty of heart.

Bring It On The Musical continues the film’s legacy, centering on the idea that genuine friendship and personal identity are more significant than winning championships and navigating high school social order. The story celebrates its diverse teen characters, including Broadway’s first openly transgender high school character, as they learn to embrace their authentic selves, reject cliques, and value integrity and teamwork – over prioritizing oneself over others.

 

Choreographer Louise Panagiotidis:

It’s been so exciting to watch the choreography come to life in Bring It On rehearsals. We have such a talented cast who are bringing so much passion to every number, and I can’t wait to share all of their hard work with audiences soon!.

Bring It On The Musical is bold, explosive and unapologetically fun, a full throttle celebration of ambition,  identity and finding your crew. Get ready to feel the beat, raise the stakes and bring it!.
