Do you remember the very first DVD you ever owned?
I do.
I had just bought a combo VHS/DVD player — back when they were still pretty pricey — and a friend gave me the campy cheerleader cult classic Bring it On. (It wasn’t a classic back then; just campy.)
It also wasn’t a musical, but it is now, and not on Broadway. My west coast friends have the bragging rights to this one.
Bring it On: The Musical may be playing at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles through December 10th, but they have recruited a bunch of Broadway award-winners to their team:
- Tony Award-winning writer Jeff Whitty (Avenue Q)
- Tony Award-winning composer Lin-Manuel Miranda (In The Heights)
- Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning composer Tom Kitt (Next to Normal)
- Tony Award-winning director/choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler (In The Heights)
It’s gotta be good, right?
Tweets from audience members, both celebrity and ‘regular folk,’ have been very enthusiastic. The critics appear to have their doubts.
But it’s early yet. There’s lots of time to polish. Bring it On: The Musical is on a national tour, although no Broadway dates appear to be scheduled.
Yet.
I’m sexy, I’m cute,
I’m popular to boot.
I’m wanted, I’m hot,
I’m everything you’re not,
I’m pretty, I’m cool,
I dominate this school,
Who am I? Just guess,
Guys wanna touch my chest,
We cheer and we lead,
We act like we’re on speed,
Hate us ’cause we’re beautiful,
Well we don’t like you either,
We’re cheerleaders,
We are cheerleaders.
During last night’s tweets and emails segment on Late Late Show, a viewer asked Craig:
The name game
Is your name Chris? Or Audrey? Or Dominic? There’s a Diet Coke out there with your name on it.
Literally.
I found this bottle with Chris’ name on it at a hoagie shop near the Amtrak station in Paoli, Pennsylvania. When I asked the employee at the counter about it, he had no clue what Coke was doing.
Which was helpful.
So I searched the bottle’s #ShareaCoke hashtag on Twitter and found a large community of people who had tweeted pics holding a bottle of Diet Coke bearing their own name! How lucky for them.
I tweeted my Chris pic. Hopefully he (or she) will appreciate it. And if someone out there finds the elusive Carla bottle, comment/tweet/email/Facebook me.
This is suddenly very important.
