If the tryouts montage looks (and sounds) familiar, there's a good reason: it's nearly a replica of the same montage from the original movie.
"When we walk through the tunnel onto the field, that's almost shot for shot, I think, of what the movie is," star D'Arcy Carden told Entertainment Tonight. "That was such a surreal moment." The montage also uses the same soundtrack as the original movie: "Sing! Sing! Sing!" by Gene Krupa.
