Review: BRING IT ON at The Muny is a High Flying Sensation
by James Lindhorst - Jun 18, 2025
The Muny's Bring It On is electrifying musical theatre for people of all ages. The biggest surprise is Jeff Whitty’s clever book.

The Muny’s vibrant production of Bring It On soars and is highly recommended.
