BRING IT ON: THE MUSICAL is a brand new story surrounding the world of competitive high school cheerleading.
Seeking, for the original company of the US Tour:
Notes: All characters are high school students. All roles are available.
Campbell:
Female, Caucasian or any ethnicity. High school senior. Our central character. Truly nice and kind, sincere. Slips easily in and out of a “cheerleader” affect, but possesses an innate intelligence. Being captain of the squad means everything to her. A leader, driven. Can be easily flustered. Pop/rock singer with good belt range needed. Must be able to handle significant dance/cheerleading.
Bridget:
Female, any ethnicity. Gawky, nerdy, jolly and insecure. A bouncy optimist in spite of her perceived shortcomings. Overweight to some degree. Self-effacing to a fault, she blossoms into confidence over the course of the show. Great singer with R&B and riffing skills needed. Dance/cheerleading skills a plus.
Danielle:
Female, African American. The “Queen Bee” of Jackson High School. Regal, dominating, complicated. Head of a talented dance crew. Has a wicked sense of humor behind a composed mask. Loyal to her friends, can be lacerating to her enemies, but is ultimately fair. R&B sound, good belt range needed. Must have dance/cheerleading skills.
Randall:
Male, any ethnicity. Campbell's developing love interest. Cute, “alternative”. Expert DJ with an easy and generous confidence. Doesn't need to be a tremendous athlete. Pop/rock tenor.
Eva:
Female, Caucasian or any ethnicity. High school freshman. Immensely likable, sweet, fragile-seeming. Joins the Truman squad – and turns out to be a sociopathic back-stabbing climber who takes over the squad and ruins the lives of many. (But more emphasis on “sweet and fragile” – we shouldn't see it coming). Pop/rock voice. Must be able to handle significant dance/cheerleading.
Skylar:
Female. A more stereotypical “bitchy” cheerleader type. Funny, loyal to her friends, not terribly invested in her education. One of Campbell's wing-women at the beginning of the show. Good singer and skilled comedienne needed. Dance/cheerleading skills a plus.
Kylar:
Female. A slightly less-intelligent version of Skylar, and a year behind her. Rather a follower, also one of Campbell's sidekicks. Good singer needed. Dance/cheerleading skills a plus.
Nautica:
Latina, African American or any ethnicity. Female. Outgoing, funny sidekick to Danielle. Sassy, loyal. Can be aggressive when called for. Good singer with R&B and bluesy chops needed. Must be able to handle significant dance/cheerleading.
La Cienega:
Male-to-female transgender teenager; born a male (played by a male or TG actress). Any ethnicity. Her gender is simply not an issue, accepted by her friends, barely referred to. BFFs with Nautica and Danielle. Has a wicked tongue but a generous spirit. Good singer with R&B and bluesy chops needed. Dance/cheerleading skills a plus.
Twig:
Male. Latino, African American or any ethnicity. Funny, well-meaning flirt who develops an instant attraction to curvaceous Bridget. Good singer with excellent hip-hop/rap skills needed. Must have significant dancing/cheerleading skills.
Steven:
Caucasian male. Handsome, slightly vapid puppy-dog. Begins the show as Campbell's boyfriend. Easily manipulated. Means well. Good singer with great dancing/cheerleading skills needed.
