Bring It On — The Musical
The iconic cheerleading movie starring Kristin Dunst and Gabriella Union is now a musical, but the storyline is a bit different than the movie.

Despite having the deck stacked against her, Campbell befriends the dance crew girls and, along with their headstrong and hardworking leader, Danielle, manages to form a powerhouse squad for the ultimate competition — the National Championships.
