TheatreWise, a brand-new theatre company in Ōtautahi! TheatreWise is a charitable trust, with a focus on training and development for young people aged 16-22, offering opportunities both on and off the stage!
Its first offering is Bring it One, The Musical.
Inspired by the 2000s film, Bring It On The Musical focuses on the competitive world of cheerleading, taking audiences on a high-flying journey filled with the complexities of friendship, jealousy, betrayal, and forgiveness.
Written by a team of Tony award winning creators, Bring It On features a book written by Jeff Whitty (Avenue Q), with music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, In The Heights), and music by Tom Kitt (Next To Normal).
The story follows Campbell Davis, a young cheerleader who dreams of leading her squad to victory at a national competition. Suddenly she is mysteriously reassigned to another school where she knows hardly anyone and worse: they don’t have a cheerleading squad! Despite the challenges of fitting in at a new school, Campbell befriends the dance squad and helps them become a powerhouse competitor for the National Cheerleading Championships.
The TheatreWise season of Bring It On has an incredible creative team, with Jeremy Hinman as Director/Choreographer, Olly Humphries as Assistant Director/Choreographer, Catherine Hay as Vocal Director, and Gavin Hurley as Conductor.
This is a show you do not want to miss – at The Shed (36C Clarence Street South) from the 31st July – 3rd August.
