Inspired by Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Cruel Intentions hit cinema screens just before the Millennium, presenting a world of wealthy New York teenagers in which stories of scandal and seduction were commonplace.  

This jukebox-musical version of the film follows the manipulative schemes of lead characters Kathryn and Sebastian, along the way serving up a soundtrack of 90s hits and an array of spaghetti straps, chunky heels, and oblong sunglasses.

With hits by Britney Spears, the Spice Girls, NSYNC and Christina Aguilera, the show’s pop quota is definitely reached - and there are songs from the original film’s alt-rock soundtrack, too; The Verve, Placebo and Counting Crows are among the bands whose music is featured.
