Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Bring it On: The Musical is a musical with music by Tom Kitt and Lin-Manuel Miranda, set in the competitive world of high school cheerleading. Like the films in the franchise after the first, it features no characters or references to the original film, and the only thing it has in common with it is the cheerleading focus and a theme of race running through the plot.The plot centers around Campbell, who has just been elected captain of the Truman High School cheerleading squad. She seems to have it all— Two best friends (Alpha Bitch Skyler and Beta Bitch follower Kyler), and a loving boyfriend, Steven, who all cheer on the squad with her. After electing adorable sophomore student Eva to take over as head of the squad if she, Skyler, and Kyler are all unable to, Campbell's life is shattered when she finds out that due to redistricting, she has been forced to move schools, and will now be attending the inner-city Jackson High School.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Once at Jackson, Campbell finds out that a girl whom she had previously cut from the Truman squad, chubby and uncoordinated Bridget, has been redistricted as well. While Campbell quickly runs afoul of the local hip-hop group, Nautica, La Cienega, and Danielle, Bridget is quickly accepted into the dance group. Campbell soon finds out that because Skyler's grades have mysteriously dropped, and Kyler has contracted mono, Eva is now the head of the squad. She suspects (and soon confirms) that Eva is not only responsible for that, but also for Campbell having been redistricted so that she could be the captain. Campbell then vows that she will turn Jackson High's hip-hop group into a top-notch cheerleading squad in order to humiliate Eva at Nationals. Hilarity Ensues.The musical premiered in Atlanta, Georgia in 2011 before embarking on a national tour and then opening on Broadway in 2012.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Actor Allusion: In the song 'Something Isn't Right Here', Campbell remarks that "I've got a spidey-sense". Kirsten Dunst, who starred in the film version, also played Mary-Jane Watson in the Spider-Man movies.

Token Minority: La Cienega, as a teenage Transgender cheerleader. La Cienega is the only character on the LGBT spectrum represented in the musical and the first trans character in the Bring It On franchise. This is also the first Broadway musical to feature a high-school aged trans character.

"I Am" Song
 Bring It On (Theatre) / int_78e8eba5
comment
"I Am" Song: 'What I Was Born to Do' details Campbell's ambition to lead the cheer squad, and gives each of the other Truman students a verse to explain their character. 'Welcome to Jackson' gives the Jackson students much the same, along with going a bit into Bridget's character.

Beware the Nice Ones: Eva, certainly. Although at first she seems like an insecure underclassman, she quickly proves to be a skilled chessmaster, using her connections and influence to claw her way to the top. Her true nature is especially evident in her song, 'Killer Instinct'.
