About Cruel Intentions
Following sell-out seasons in London and New York, Bill Kenwright Ltd. presents the brand-new smash hit musical ‘Cruel Intentions’ on its first major national tour.
Based on the iconic film and inspired by Les Liaisons Dangereuses, it’s packed with ‘90s pop classics including the songs of Britney Spears, Boyz II Men, Christina Aguilera, TLC, R.E.M., Ace of Base, Natalie Imbruglia, The Verve, *NSYNC and many more.
Step siblings Sebastian Valmont and Kathryn Merteuil engage in a cruel bet: Kathryn goads Sebastian into attempting to seduce Annette Hargrove, the headmaster’s virtuous daughter. Weaving a web of secrets and temptation, their crusade wreaks havoc on the students at their exclusive Manhattan high school.
It’s not long before the duo becomes entangled in their own web of deception and unexpected romance, with explosive results.
The iconic movie set to the decade’s best songs is an irresistible combination and with over forty 4 and 5-star reviews, it’s the ultimate 90s night out.
Includes 24 iconic 90s songs from: Britney Spears | Boyz II Men | Christina Aguilera | TLC | R.E.M. | Ace of Base | Natalie Imbruglia | The Verve Z | *NSYNC and many more!
