LIVESHOWREVIEWS FREQUENCY by brien overly Manchester Orchestra Oct. 27 @ Glass House Let’s start this week by laying down of few of the universal truths that should be irrefutable in the world of indie rock. First, it is not catchy music, for catchy music caters to mainstream audiences, and, shudder, indie doesn’t do mainstream. Second, it is not fun, for fun music is rife with emotion

which might thusly break the indie Ryan Russell stoicism, and y’know, make it a little more human. God forbid. And yet, here we have Manchester Orchestra, who manages to write masterfully layered and intelligently worded songs that are still infectiously catchy and high-energy, even when being more moody at atmospheric.

CURTAINCALL ‘BRING IT ON: THE MUSICAL:’ O ct. 30-Dec. 10 @ Ahmanson Theatre by sasha perl-raver Ryann Redmond as Bridget

After five cult-ishly beloved films which spawned such memorable quotes as: “She puts the ‘ass’ in ‘massive,’” “You were having cheer sex with him” and “Missy’s the pooh – so take a big whiff!” Bring It On, the tale of high school cheerleading bringing opposing forces together into one grand human pyramid of love, has been transformed into a musical that bows at the Ahmanson at the end of the month. Pathfi nder. An amalgamation of all five Bring In On films, from the original in 2000 to Bring It On: Fight to the Finish in 2009, the play, just like all the film’s sequels, introduces a new cast of characters who follow a similar path initially taken by Kirsten Dunst and Gabrielle Trailblazer. Union. One of the players new on the scene is Bridget, a character originated by Ryann Redmond. Speaking to Redmond as she waited to board a flight from her native Atlanta, Ga., where the show had its world premiere, to Los Angeles, the 22-year-old describes her Business owner. role as, “the nerdy overweight girl they won’t let on the squad, so I’m the mascot at the beginning. Then I get transferred to a school on ‘the other side of the tracks,’ and they accept me for everything that I am, let me on their dance crew and I get to blossom and Take the path that leads to your full potential. find my way.” Think of it sort of as Hairspray meets Step Up 2: The Streets.

Working in Atlanta was a moment of triumphant hometown glory for the southern girl. “It was awesome!” she gushes. “My mom could not have been any more excited. She saw the show about 20 times, and we were only here for five weeks. If she could come on tour with us, she would be the happiest woman alive,” she adds with a laugh. Over the years, Redmond says, “I’ve gotten to mold my character, and she’s really become a part of who I am,” but she never takes for granted just how lucky she is to be part of the musical’s maiden voyage. “The creative team is amazing. It’s all-star, with a whole bunch of Tonys, Grammys and Pulitzers.” She isn’t kidding, the show’s score was co-written by Tony winners Lin-Manuel Miranda (“In the Heights”) and Tom Kitt (“Next to Normal”), and the book for the LOS ANGELES CONVENTION CENTER musical was written by Jeff Whitty (“Avenue Q”). NOVEMBER 4 – 6, 2011 The young triple threat is also incredibly grateful to have the chance to play a character who gets to stand front and center without fitting into traditional expectations and definitions of beauty. “In this business, so often it is about being blonde, skinny and gorgeous,” says REGISTER FREE AT WCFEXPO.COM Redmond, who falls more into the Bette Midler or Nikki Blonsky school of spunky FREE EXPO and Seminar Admission adorability, but championing inner beauty is a major theme in “Bring In On: The Compliments of Campus Circle.

Though Redmond says the show has been (luckily) unmarred by injury, it’s a dangerous, exhilarating viewing experience and, thanks to a newly added stunt in the finale, she gets to be a “flyer” as well. “I’ve watched other people do it for months and when [the director] told me, ‘You’re going up!
