“Inspired” by the fabulously fizzy Kirsten Dunst film, rival cheering squads square off in a musical written by some of the biggest new school talent in the business, Jeff Whitty (Avenue Q), Lin Manuel Miranda (In the Heights), Tom Kitt (Next to Normal) and Amanda Green (Hands on a Hard Body).
“While it has its moments of memorable wit and some appealing rhythmic Broadway-pop songs, Bring It On … has the feel of a daffy lark embarked upon as a summer-vacation goof.” New York Times
“…genuinely highflying, hyper-gymnastic and surprisingly savvy-sweet cheerleader musical…” Newsday
“Strong performances from a personable cast, athletically impressive staging and an engaging score combine to make Bring It On a pert and refreshing summer surprise.” Variety
“Not quite championship material, but an enjoyable teen confection that literally hits its share of heights.“ Hollywood Reporter
