BRING IT ON THE MUSICAL TOUR

The touring production of Bring It On has been cancelled.

Having opened in December at the Southbank Centre, the piece had been set to visit venues across the UK and Ireland after it ENDS its London run on 22nd January

Having opened in December at the Southbank Centre, the piece had been set to visit venues across the UK and Ireland after it wraps up its (still going ahead) London run.

Producers Selladoor Worldwide said today: "Cancelling 13 performances has resulted in an overwhelming loss of income for the production during a peak period that would otherwise have provided a vital financial backbone of the tour. This lost income, amounting to hundreds of thousands of pounds, has sadly rendered the remainder of the tour financially unsustainable. It would be irresponsible for us to continue, and we therefore have no option but to cancel the remainder of the tour.

"We have not taken this decision lightly and have explored every possible alternative to avoid cancellation. Selladoor remain incredibly proud of this fantastically received production and are grateful to everyone who has worked so hard on it, and to all the audiences who have cheered us on. We are only too aware of the impact this will have on our wonderful cast, crew, musicians and creative team – as well as our audiences, venues and suppliers we had been due to work with during the tour. We are heartbroken that we have been forced into this position, but the impact of these cancellations caused by Omicron has left us with no other choice."

As originally announced, the production will be led by Amber Davies as Campbell with Louis Smith as Cameron who will be joined by Vanessa Fisher/Danielle, Alicia Belgarde/Eva, Georgia Bradshaw/Nautica, Connor Carson/Randall. Marvyn Charles/Twig, Chelsea Hall/Bridget, Jal Joshua/La Cienega, Chloe Pole/Skylar, Biancha Szynal/Kylar and Samuel Wilson-Freeman/Steven. With ensemble members Jordan Isaac, Bethany Kate, Gareth Moran, Ayden Morgan, Kenedy Small, Zinzile Tshuma and swings Paris Green and Sergi Ibanez.

 Perhaps best known as the winner of ITV’s Love Island in 2017, Amber Davies made her professional stage debut in 2019 to critical and audience acclaim as ‘Judy Bernly’ in Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5 The Musical at the Savoy Theatre and subsequently on the UK tour.  Whilst training at Urdang Academy, her credits included ‘Campbell’ in “Bring It On The Musical” and ‘Downing’ in “My Favourite Year”.

 Four-time gymnastic Olympic medallist Louis Smith shot to fame in 2008 when he won the first British gymnastic medal in 100 years at the Beijing Olympics. Following his success at the London 2012 Olympic Games Louis later won that year’s BBC Strictly Come Dancing, before going on to win the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special in 2014.  On stage he has appeared in “Rip It Up” in both the West End and on tour. 

Bring It On the smash hit Broadway musical is to back flip into the UK on a tour next year. Produced by Selladoor Productions (Flashdance, Avenue Q) and directed by Guy Unsworth with choreography by Fabian Aloise. Bring it On is written by Tony Award Winners Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton), Jeff Whitty (Avenue Q) Tom Kitt (Grease:Live) and lyricist Amanda Green (High Fidelity).  Performed by arrangement with Music Theatre International (Europe) Limited.

Inspired by the film of the same name, Bring It On The Musical takes you on a high-flying, energy fuelled journey which tackles friendship, jealousy, betrayal and forgiveness – wrapped up in explosive choreography and tricks.

Cheer-royalty and newly crowned Squad Captain, Campbell, should be embarking on her most cheertastic senior year at Truman High School. But when she’s forced to move to the neighbouring hard-knock Jackson High, Campbell fears her life is over.  But an unlikely friendship catapults Campbell back into contention with a powerhouse squad and the fire to achieve the impossible.
