BRING IT ON: THE MUSICAL is a brand new story surrounding the world of competitive high school cheerleading.
SEEKING:
Male & Female Dancers Who Sing:
All ethnicities to play high school students/cheerleaders (must legally be 18 years of age by rehearsal start date). Must be excellent, athletic dancers with hip-hop dance skills. Cheerleading skills a plus.
Female Ensemble 1:
High School student. Caucasian female (or any ethnicity). Great dancer who sings very well. Covers the principal roles of CAMPBELL & EVA. (CAMPBELL: Our central character: truly nice and kind, sincere, who 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. Senior in high school. Pop/rock singer, good belt range. EVA: Immensely likeable, sweet, fragile-seeming Freshman who 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.)
Female Ensemble 2:
High School student. Latina or Asian female (or any ethnicity). Great dancer who sings well. Covers the principal roles of BRIDGET, SKYLAR, and KYLAR. (BRIDGET: 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. SKYLAR: 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. KYLAR: A slightly less-intelligent version of Skylar and a year behind her. Rather a follower, also one of Campbell's sidekicks. Good singer.)
Female Ensemble 3:
High School student. African-American female (or any ethnicity). Great dancer. Must have RAP skills as she has a featured solo. Covers the principal roles of DANIELLE and NAUTICA. (DANIELLE: The "Queen Bee" of Jackson High School, regal, dominating, complicated. Is 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. NAUTICA: Outgoing, funny sidekick to Danielle; sassy, loyal, can be aggressive when called for. Good singer with R&B and bluesy chops.)
Male Ensemble 1 / Cameron:
African-American or Latino male. Sexy boyfriend of Danielle, a star athlete who lets his guard down as he joins the Jackson cheerleading squad. Good singer with good hip-hop/rap skills. Must have significant dancing/cheerleading skills.
Male Ensemble 2:
African-American or Latino male (or any ethnicity). High School student. Excellent dancer. Must have RAP skills. Covers the principal role of TWIG and ensemble feature CAMREON (see Cameron description above) – (TWIG: A funny, well-meaning flirt who, develops an instant attraction to curvaceous Bridget. Good singer with excellent hip-hop/rap skills.)
Male Ensemble 3:
Caucasian male (or any ethnicity). High School student. Great dancer. Plays the featured “Cheer Camp Leader,” a fun-loving cheerleading enthusiast. Covers the principal roles of STEVEN and LA CIENEGA. (STEVEN: A handsome, slightly vapid puppy-dog, begins the show as Campbell's boyfriend. Easily manipulated. Means well. LA CIENEGA: A male-to-female transgender teenager. 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.)
Male Ensemble 4:
Male, any ethnicity. High School student. Great dancer. Tumbling/cheerleading skills a plus. Covers the principal role of RANDALL and others. (RANDALL: Male, any ethnicity; Campbell's developing love interest. Cute, "alternative," an expert DJ with an easy and generous confidence. Pop/rock tenor voice.)
