Uniting some of the freshest and funniest creative minds on Broadway, Bring It On features an original story by Tony Award winner Jeff Whitty (Avenue Q), music and lyrics by Pulitzer- and Tony Award-winning composer, Lin-Manuel Miranda (In the Heights, Hamilton), music by Pulitzer- and Tony Award-winning composer, Tom Kitt (Next to Normal), lyrics by Broadway lyricist, Amanda Green (High Fidelity), and was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Musical.

Campbell is cheer-royalty at Truman High School and her senior year should prove the most cheertastic — she’s been named captain of the squad! But, an unexpected redistricting has forced her to spend her final year of high school at the neighbouring Jackson High School. Despite having the deck stacked against her, Campbell befriends the school’s dance crew. Together with their headstrong and hardworking leader, Danielle, they form a powerhouse squad for the ultimate competition — the National Championships.

With a colourful assortment of characters, an exciting fresh sound and explosive choreography this hilarious, universal story is sure to be everything that you hoped for and nothing like you expected.

This is a dance-heavy show and we are thrilled to be working again with Emily McAllister-Brown as our choreographer. If you are an experienced dancer, but not as confident with singing or acting, we are still very keen to have you audition.

 

How Do I Get Involved?

Fill out the Audition Sign-Up form (this has all the potential audition and rehearsal dates in it)

Prepare for the audition (a song and some short scenes will be sent out two weeks before the audition date to those who have filled out the form)

Attend the audition slot you have been given or send in a video audition (you will also be sent a dance routine to record). These are the initial ones that will be available:

  • Wed 25 Sep, 7.30pm – 8.20pm
  • Wed 25 Sep, 8.30pm – 9.20pm
  • Sun 29 Sep, 4pm – 4.50pm
  • Sun 29 Sep, 5pm – 5.50pm
  • Sun 29 Sep, 6pm – 6.50pm

 

We will then send out a cast list, and the first payment will be due before the first rehearsal to confirm your part.

Attend all rehearsals you are called for – it’s a team activity, and missing rehearsals makes it harder for everyone else (and could jeopardise your role in the show).

Take part in the performances on Fri 21 Feb and Sat 22 Feb 2025.

Unlike our other Summer shows, the show is cast solely by audition and not everyone is guaranteed a space. You will need to join us for the auditions or send a video, and we will cast it shortly after. Audition details will be sent to those who fill out the form below.

There are more rehearsals listed than we will do, but this is a good starting point for us to work from once we know everyone’s availability. Responses can be edited (you will be sent a link) up until the audition date.

The fewer rehearsals you can do, the less likely you are to get a part. You must be available for the last two weeks of February rehearsals (and the performance dates, of course).

 

Fees

It costs £330 to take part in the cast (payable in whole or in instalments), which includes a show hoodie, digital show photos and rehearsals and training led by a team of talented professional artists.

The first instalment is required before the first rehearsal, and everything should be paid in full by the end of the first week in January.

No one should be unable to take part because of financial constraints. Bursaries from The Elliott Foundation are available for those on low incomes.

 

Lead Roles

The ages are those of the characters and actors are not required to be those ages.

 

Campbell
A senior head cheerleader whose world gets turned upside-down when she transfers schools. She is constantly working towards the goal of a championship and her “one perfect moment”. After using her friends to exact revenge, she realises that friendship is much more lasting than a trophy.

Gender: female
Age: 17 to 19

Danielle
The head of the Jackson dance crew. She has fought her way from nothing to make a name for herself, which leads her to not put a lot of stock into people like Campbell. But she has a tendency to bring down her walls and embrace a true friendship.
Gender: female
Age: 17 to 19

Nautica
One of the Jackson dance crew. Not the sharpest person on the squad, but is loud enough to make up for it.
Gender: female
Age: 16 to 19

Randall
Jackson’s school DJ, mellow and friendly. A true Cinderella story, working his way from a dorky freshman to a smooth senior. He becomes attracted to Campbell for her heart, bravery, and determination.
Gender: male
Age: 17 to 19

La Cienega
A transgender woman. Any ethnicity. Her gender is simply not an issue, accepted by her friends, barely referred to. BFFs with Nautica and Danielle. Has a wicked tongue but a generous spirit.
Age: 15 to 19

Steven
The only male cheerleader on the Buccaneers and Campbell’s boyfriend. Tender and comforting, but not the most adept to his surroundings.
Gender: male
Age: 17 to 19

Kylar
One of the Buccaneers cheerleaders. An extremely loyal follower of Skylar who keeps her intelligence hidden under a bushel.
Gender: female
Age: 16 to 18

Eva
Campbell’s neighbor and the newest member of the Buccaneers cheerleaders. Her initial impression is one of naiveté and meekness. But she proves to be a social climber who schemes to take over Campbell’s life at any cost.
Gender: female
Age: 15 to 18

Twig
One of the Jackson students and a hip-hop artist. His hormones make him lust after Bridget.
Gender: male
Age: 15 to 19

Bridget
The mascot for the Buccaneers. Nerdy and out of shape, but she strives for a place on the cheerleading team. Despite being an outcast, she has a good heart and a great spirit.
Gender: female
Age: 15 to 19

Skylar
One of the senior Buccaneers cheerleaders. Her popularity has given her quite the mean streak, though she does not have the brains to make up for it.
Gender: female
Age: 17 to 19

Cameron
One of the Jackson students, a hip-hop artist. A combination class clown and attempted ladies’ man, but he strives for fame and fortune.
Gender: male
Age: 16 to 19

Ensemble
Announcer; Truman Squad (Steven); Goths; Jackson Students (Carter, Brooklyn); Singer
