This movie–based–musical comes from Lin–Manuel Miranda and Tom Kitt, creators of the Broadway sensations Hamilton and Next to Normal. Nominated for two Tony Awards®, including Best Musical, this story takes audiences on a high–flying journey filled with an incredible score by two of Broadway’s most celebrated contemporary composers. Their energetic rock and hip-hop infused musical numbers represent two squads with one mission: the National Cheerleading Championship title. PG–13.
