Are the £10 pyramid tickets only available to ATG members at present? I booked one for the New Wimbledon Theatre earlier and I'm not an ATG member, so I assume anyone can book! How do you get the £10 pyramid tickets? |

Choose a performance, choose a seat and a list of price options will come up. If the pyramid price is available for that seat, it will be on the list.

I believe Tom Kitt wrote the songs for Truman High School and Lin wrote the ones for Jackson High. Makes sense as they are two completely different styles.
They're probably my two favourite modern composers and I hope they work together again on something...better. I don't blame them, the subject matter is rather trite and I believe Lin was writing Hamilton at the time so if most of his genius was going to go to one show I'm glad it was that one.
I do think the score is catchy and fun enough though and I will probably see this for £10.

I actually saw the very first performance of this show - the first preview in Los Angeles where it opened pre-Broadway. I don't remember why I was there as I had not seen the movie and had no interest in cheerleading but, for all my cynicism, the show completely won me over. The energy was so high it virtually exploded off the stage and the score was very strong for such a piece. Miranda's stuff certainly outshone Kitt's but he had more interesting characters to deal with. I don't know how it will go down here but it's a show that definitely gives you your money's worth.

so if you were to purchase them and have them posted, the chances of getting checked are slim to zero. And your chances of getting a criminal record for obtaining financial advantage by deception are pretty high if you do get caught. Equally true! |

It seems an interesting one to bring over for a tour. The same guy brought over Wonderland but that's instantly a lot more recognisable and sellable (and even that's not really happening...) because it's linked to Alice In Wonderland, which everyone has at least heard of. How many people actually know about the Bring It On movies?
Also, i hope they put a bit more money and effort into this than they did Wonderland because i wasn't that impressed, thought to be fair my judgement on the production was slightly motivated by the particular performance i went to having hilarious technical issues and goofs that made it seem a bit like a performance of The Play That Goes Wrong.
Who is directing?

How many people actually know about the Bring It On movies? Well this show isn't really based on the movies strangely (only the basic themes). But I would say there's an entire generation of people in their 20s/30s that know of them. I would think it wouldn't have been brought over if it wasn't for Hamilton taking off. |

Despite being the right age demographic I'd never seen the film (s) when I saw this on Broadway- it was a case of good discount and love of dance based shows, and I loved it. Shame it's not coming anywhere near me on tour alas.

Fantastic! I saw the Australian tour about two years and absolutely loved it! It really is a sickly sweet show that will make you want to go out and dance afterwards. Although the musical is loosely based on the third movie I reckon it'll still sell well due to the franchise name, which is still massively popular with 90's kids who now have disposable income. Really looking forward to it.

The issue i find with the score, and maybe I will feel different after watching the show, but there is really only one memorable song in the entire show "It's All Happening". Heresy! There is so much joy in the Bring it On score. Can't wait for this. |

First Wonderland and now this? Neil Eckersley is the kamikaze pilot of producers - what's next? Tuck Everlasting?

Oh god I hope this is not an awful perception of competitive cheerleading, as the bring it on movies are far from the truth and it is nearly being recognised as a sport and if this perceived incorrectly, it makes cheerleading even further from being a sport.
I may be biased as I do do cheerleading, but anyway

As someone who's grown up watching the films, they were never meant to be an accurate inside into the world of cheering, more so a dramatisation of the activity with the "spirit stick" , cheer gods and cheer bible. It pokes fun at how seriously it's taken.

Hm that's interesting! It's the same producer as Wonderland, so I'd save those happy dance moves for the moment!

Do we know who's producing it? It's Neil Eckersley/Speckulation Entertainment (behind the current Wonderland tour) What are the chances of this still going ahead after what happened to Wonderland? I do not seem to find any news online about the cast and the tour is supposed to start in around a month. Edit: ooops, sorry, did not see theatremadness' recent post. We are all still left to wonder(land) then! |
