At the Toros' adjacent dwelling game, Isis and her teammates perform the Toros' routine in front of the whole school, humiliating them. After advice from Aaron, Torrance recruits the team to heighten money through a car wash and rent choreographer Sparky Polastri. Polastri puts the whole team on a diet and regularly belittles them, just the team learns the routine in time for contest. At Regionals, the team scheduled earlier the Toros performs Sparky'southward routine, embarrassing the team. Torrance speaks to a competition official and learns their choreographer has provided the routine for six other teams. Every bit the defending champions, the Toros are granted their place in Nationals in Daytona Embankment, Florida, but Torrance is warned that a new routine will be expected. Big Red chastises Torrance for her inability to be a leader and says that if she made any fault as a team leader, information technology wasn't stealing cheers, but information technology was announcing Torrance as her successor.

Prior to auditioning for the film, actors were expected to have a cheer prepared.[6] To avert the utilize of stunt doubles, Reed required all the actors to participate in a four-week cheerleading camp.[6] Reed and Gabrielle Union met numerous times to discuss the best way to arroyo her graphic symbol.[vi] "I think she was able to detect what was cool most that character, in a fashion, I doubt other actresses could," Reed explained in an interview, "Whenever she'southward on the screen she has this charisma."[6] While editing the motion picture, Reed and editor Larry Bock watched cheerleading exploitation films from the 1970s.[4]

James Franco and Jason Schwartzman both auditioned for the role of Cliff Pantone.[7] Marley Shelton was the first option for the role of Torrance Shipman just she decided to star in Sugar & Spice instead.[8]

Many critics praised Kirsten Dunst's performance. In his review, A. O. Scott called her "a terrific comic actress, largely considering of her great expressive range, and the nimbleness with which she can shift from anxiety to aggression to genuine hurt."[13] Charles Taylor of Salon notes "amid gimmicky teenage actresses, Dunst is the sunniest imaginable parodist."[18] Jessica Wintertime from The Village Voice shared this sentiment, commenting "[Dunst] provides the merely major element of Bring It On plays as tweaking parody rather than slick, strident, trunk-slam churlishness."[xix] Peter Stack of the San Francisco Relate, despite giving the pic an unfavorable review, commended Dunst for her willingness "to be every bit airheaded and cloyingly amusing as it takes to get through a slapdash pic."[20]

The New York Times reviewer wrote of the Ahmanson Theatre product: "After an opening number truly-dazzles as information technology reveals the bandage's impressive gymnastic prowess, the score hits its stride after Campbell transfers to Jackson High. Surging R&B grooves and churning lyrics suggest the fingerprints of Mr. Miranda ... the trip the light fantastic toe numbers for the Jackson crowd kicking the musical into high-gear for nearly of the start act.... Like virtually entertainments nigh the trials and triumphs of the teenage years, 'Bring It On' has as much sap as it does pep in its DNA, distinguished primarily by the electrifying dance routines and the elaborate cheer-squad performances."[29]

The musical opened on Broadway at the St. James Theatre, in a limited run, starting on July 12, 2012, in previews, officially on August 1 through December thirty, 2012.[32] [33] [34]
