Broadway review: ‘Bring It On'
6 / 10
...'Bring It On' is basically inconsequential. I know that cheerleaders and their nearest will disagree, but for most of us, a story about kids from an urban high school vying for a national cheerleading title against kids from a privileged one is not such a compelling issue, even with helpings of intrigue. At intermission, I was thinking, gee, the dancing is fabulous and the cast, outstanding, but I don't frankly care if these characters live or die. By the end of the show, at least I was curious about how the whole thing would turn out. You can't go too far wrong with a Rocky story done well, but we've been bombarded with so many, a new one has to be inventive to be anything more than routine. 'Bring It On' is neither...The dancing is the single element that electrifies 'Bring It On,' pushing its demands on the cast to the very edge.
'Bring It On' review: Musical leaps high
8 / 10
This is a harmless entertainment, at least for the audience, cheerfully put together by such offbeat Tony winners as writer Jeff Whitty ('Avenue Q') composer-lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda ('In the Heights') and composer Tom Kitt ('Next to Normal'). But for all the positive messages and appealing contributions from these new-generation pedigrees, the hero of the show must surely be director-choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler ('In the Heights'), who turned theater-trained singers and dancers into confident acrobats and real-life competitive cheerleaders into believable characters.
