A brand new musical is hitting the Broadway stage.
Bring It On: The Musical
is currently in previews at the St. James, and they are BRINGING. IT.
The songs are awesome, the choreography is kickin', it's funny as
hell, and the cheering is KICK ASS.
They've got a crazy talented cast and a creative team to die for: In the Heights' Lin-Manuel Miranda (Music & Lyrics) and Andy Blankenbuehler (Director/Choreographer), Next to Normal's Tom Kitt (Music), Avenue Q's Jeff Whitty (Book), High Fidelity's Amanda Green (Lyrics). Sorry, but I am totally geeking out over these guys! And yesterday I got to share my cookies with them and the incredible cast!
So the story goes... Campbell is captain of the Truman High School cheerleading squad...
...until an unfortunate turn of events causes her to transfer to Jackson High, where she creates a rival squad.
They compete for the National Cheerleading Championship title through singing and dancing and cheering and flipping and throwing people 20 feet in the air. It's awesome.
These cookies are based on the squads' uniforms
(designed by the wonderful Andrea Lauer who I had the pleasure of working with on Unnatural Acts).
You can check out production photos HERE.
And my friend Cherie, the Music Assistant on the show and a stage manager and photographer extraordinaire
(Check her out at http://www.cheriebtay.com!!)
took these amazing pictures of me with the two lead actresses and the ever-awesome, Lin-Manuel Miranda.
With Taylor Louderman, who plays Campbell
With Adrienne Warren, who plays Danielle
(I'm pretty sure the guy in the background is reacting to the cookies on the table!)
With Lin-Manuel Miranda, Composer/Lyricist
The show officially opens on August 1st, so go check it out!
