“Probably the most exciting show since Wicked”  ⏤ The Age (2019) ★★★★½

Sydney-siders will witness the extraordinary cast of 28 multi-threat talents performing Tony Award nominated music and lyrics by Lin Manuel Miranda, Green Room Award winning choreography by Michael Ralph and breathtaking aerial stunts by high-flying cheerleading world champions.

The explosive stage show has received widespread critical acclaim after its triumphant return to the Athenaeum, Melbourne following an extended premiere season in 2018 and three Green Room nominations including Best Production of a Musical.

“The response in Melbourne was overwhelming, while there is a great buzz in Perth in anticipation of the show’s arrival there next week. But we couldn’t be more excited to wrap our 2019 tour in Sydney! Sydney audiences seem to be particularly big fans of  BRING IT ON THE MUSICAL, so it is a joy to giving them what they want,” says producer David Venn.

Inspired by the cult 2000’s movie of the same name, the stage show explores themes of friendship and acceptance.

True triple threat, Sydney performer Kirby Burgess (Barnum, Dirty Dancing) stuns in the lead role of Campbell, squad captain and cheer-royalty at Truman High School. Starring alongside Kirby is newcomer Jasmine Smith (The King and I, Morning Melodies) in the role of Danielle, the dance crew leader at neighbouring Jackson High School. The demanding role of Danielle is Jasmine’s first starring role as she concurrently finishes her final year of musical theatre at the Victorian Collage of the Arts.
