Olympic gymnast Louis Smith and reality TV star Amber Davies will lead the cast of the brand new UK tour of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Bring It On! Smith and Davies will take on the role of Cameron and Campbell respectively.
Both Smith and Davies proved their stage chops last year as they took starring roles in West End productions of Rip It Up (Garrick Theatre) and 9 to 5: The Musical (Savoy Theatre, and UK tour) respectively! The rest of the cast is set to be announced at a later date.
With a book by Jeff Whitty Bring It On features music by Tom Kitt and Lin-Manuel Miranda and lyrics by Amanda Green and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Campbell's high-school dream has been realised, she's the captain of her school's cheerleading squad! However, as soon as her title is given... it's ripped away as she is forced to transfer to the hard-up Jackson High on the other side of town. Just as Campbell begins to feel like her life is over an unlikely friendship flips her world upside down, changing her high school life forever!
Even those with dark memories of the plastic perfections of cheerleaders may find it impossible to resist an encouraging cry of "Go team!"
