Posted: 5/15/12 at 7:36pmPersonally I can't imagine a BW show about cheerleading.

How long did that last? 64 performances, a financial disaster! My point.

The songs I've heard are sort of banal. But I hope it exceeds my expectations.
I really don't see it doing well in the barn that is the St. James, but we shall see...

Posted: 5/15/12 at 8:00pmI saw the show and it's not the film nor is it anything like Lysistrata Jones. It is a lot of fun, though. And a couple of stellar featured performances.

Looking forward to it!
That'll be five different shows at the St. James in the span of 15 months.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Posted: 5/15/12 at 9:36pmI saw it and it REALLY exceded my expectations! I loved it and i saw it 3 times on tour! The cheerleading choreography is breathtaking and the show is hilarious. I personally like the music, it has a lot of Lin-Manuel Miranda style in it, though not quite as good as In The Heights. I'm glad it's going to Broadway, even for a short time!

Really? A summer limited engagement of a movie that has a HUGE cult following? I think it will do just fine.
#17BRING IT ON coming to Broadway this summer
Posted: 5/15/12 at 9:48pmI think it'll be great for the cast and great for the show to gain some exposure. I wouldn't be shocked if they try to make it to New Years, that's if some Holiday show doesn't want the St.James.

the show has like nothing to do with the movie, I think people will be disappointed by that. only thing that is the same is
cheerleading. aren't most of the lyrics like rap/hip hop influenced (it wassss written by Lin Manuel-Miranda

#19BRING IT ON coming to Broadway this summer
Posted: 5/15/12 at 10:53pmmost of the music is more pop/cheerleader chanting. there is a good amount of rap and hip-hop, but not nearly as much as ITH

Posted: 5/15/12 at 11:04pmIt'll play July 7 - October 7 only(3 months)?? Such a weird schedule considering how bad some shows do after Labor Day.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

That's actually a good thing. I like the story of the musical better than the movie.

Posted: 5/15/12 at 11:16pmSo the musical isn't "you've been stealing our choreography for years, winning titles you don't deserve and we're pissed"?

The St. James is NOT a barn. It's a beautiful, historic theatre.
Sorry, I get defensive about my favorite theatres.

Make them drag you screaming from life, keep dreaming
