Beck’s ‘Bring It On’ offers cheer-face and style over substance.

Bring It On: The Musical is not a great script, but with a talented
cast, high energy dancing, creative choreography, compelling gymnastics, and a dynamic
musical score, Beck appears to have another cash cow on its hands as large audiences
should fill up the theatre.

The musical 'Bring It On' smartly manages to poke tongue-and-cheek fun at the cheerleading world while at the same time celebrating the spirit of competition and friendship.

For fans of The Beck Center and BWU’s Musical Arts
Program this production of Bring It On- The Musical will continue to fill the
theater with sell-out crowds due mainly to the performance level of the cast
and crew and in spite of the weak script and non-memorable music. Get your
ticket early to avoid missing this well performed show.

Your
interest in cheerleading competitions may be minimal, or nonexistent, but this
effusive production will have you standing and applauding at the final curtain.

Wow, was I wrong! (That happens once in awhile, hahaha.) Bring it On the Musical, a rock/hip hop show now playing in regional premiere at the Beck Center, turned out to be quite surprising. I had assumed I’d see a fluffy musical based on a film about high school cheerleading competitions — a great subject to showcase dance, but not one too intellectually or emotionally “deep.”

Andrea Simakis
The production only really comes alive when we leave the sanitized environs of Campbell's old school and hear Miranda's thrilling voice in the thumping rhythms and clever, loquacious lyrics echoing through the halls of Jackson High. Choreographer Martin Cespedes gives us the pelvic-centered, bum-shuddering moves you'd expect, but also taps a sinuous street dancer's grace, particularly in "Do Your Own Thing."
