A musical version of 2000’s hit cheerleading flick Bring It On is hitting the center stage!
Bring It On: The Musical is currently in pre-production, with Tony winners Lin-Manuel Miranda (In The Heights) and Tom Kitt on board with composing duties – and Amanda Green as the lyricist.
According to director-choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler, the goal of Bring It On: The Musical is “to create a piece of theater that’s not just for little girls.”
The story will differ from the film version of Bring It On, which starred Kirsten Dunst and Gabrielle Union, centering around “an up-and-comer who angers a fellow cheerleader when she oversteps her bounds.”
Drama!
The musical is set to start touring in 2011, with no concrete plans for NYC or Broadway just yet.
