Cruel Intentions
The musical to make you laugh, cry and fall in love all over again
Why see Cruel Intentions?
How Can Someone So Charming Be So Manipulative?
Cruel Intentions: The '90s Musical is coming to you. Based on the classic French novel, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, and the hit 1999 film, this new musical is a '90s throwback, including the nostalgic hits from the original soundtrack like "Love Fool," "Just A Girl," and, of course, "Bittersweet Symphony." It's just as intoxicating musical as intentionally cruel!
What Is The Story?
Cruel Intentions leads you into the scheming world of Manhattan's most treacherous rich-kid liaisons. Sebastian Valmont and Kathryn Marteuil are step-siblings seduced by revenge and led by passion. Their new headmaster's daughter Annette is unknown to her surroundings when she becomes a pawn in Sebastian and Kathryn's deliciously diabolical wager of sexual conquest, writing an article about how she intends to stay pure could be the undoing of her. The two step-siblings set out to destroy her purity - and anyone who gets in their way. They find themselves tangled in temptation, secrets, and worst of all love.
So tell me, are you in... or are you out?
