FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Bring It On: The Musical

Bring It On: The Musical
7 / 10

Neither roses nor brickbats are likely to be thrown at 'Bring It On,' the new musical at the St. James, but you'll see plenty of cheerleaders tossed up high. With a story drawn not from the 2000 film starring Kirsten Dunst, but rather from one of its four direct-to-video sequels, the tuner remains airborne often enough to overcome several obstacles along the way, starting with overly familiar plotting and characters. Strong performances from a personable cast, athletically impressive staging and an engaging score combine to make 'Bring It On' a pert and refreshing summer surprise.

Theater Review: 'Bring It On: The Musical' -- 3.5 stars
7 / 10

This new musical inspired by the 2000 Kirsten Dunst film about competitive high school cheerleaders...is obviously more likely to appeal to teens weaned on 'High School Musical' and 'Glee' than the majority of adult theatergoers. As you'd expect, it features unbelievable displays of acrobatics and gymnastic abilities, including but not limited to young girls being flipped high in the air. But it also proves to be a surprisingly well-crafted, highly enjoyable, feel-good musical with appealing characters, catchy R&B and rap songs, fierce hip-hop choreography and very funny dialogue packed with social media jokes.
