BRING IT ON THE MUSICAL Coming to Gold Coast in 2016

By:

BRING IT ON THE MUSICAL comes to the Gold Coast direct from its Australian Premiere in Sydney in July 2015 playing for a strictly limited two week season from 8 to 17 January 2016 in The Arts Theatre, The Arts Centre.

Bitingly relevant, sprinkled with sass, and inspired by the hit film, BRING IT ON THE MUSICAL takes audiences on a high-flying journey filled with the complexities of friendship, jealousy, betrayal and forgiveness.

This high energy stage musical is brought to life by a talented cast of 27 who perform explosive dance and aerial stunts, elaborate tumbling and flipping routines that all culminate in heart-stopping towering formations of human pyramids.

BRING IT ON THE MUSICAL tells the story of cheer-royalty Campbell (Alex Lewtas), 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 with their headstrong leader Danielle (Kat Hoyos), manages to form a powerhouse squad for the ultimate competition - the National Championships.

Uniting some of the freshest and funniest creative minds on Broadway this TONY Nominated musical 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 Broadway lyricist Amanda Green (HIGH FIDELITY) and was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Musical.

BRING IT ON THE MUSICAL is directed by Rod Herbert, Musical Director Anne-Maree McDonald, Choreographer Tracey Rasmussen and Stunt Choreographers Coralie Bradshaw and Gezelle Barham.
