Liverpool Empire Youth Theatre returns to the iconic venue’s big stage this summer!
Following on from the best-sales-ever success of Legally Blonde in 2023, the bitingly relevant, sprinkled with sass, and inspired by the hit film Bring It On The Musical will take audiences on a high-flying journey filled with the complexities of friendship, jealousy, betrayal and forgiveness this August. “These young people show so much talent, drive and passion,” says Liverpool Empire Theatre trust chairman, David Morgan. “We remain very proud of the young adults who have studied and performed with the Liverpool Empire Youth Theatre.”
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.
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. The story so far… 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.
