Synopsis

Fun, sexy, and seductive, Cruel Intentions is the ultimate ‘90s throwback. Venture into the rich and manipulative world of step-siblings Sebastian Valmont and Kathryn Merteuil. Driven by revenge, lust, and passion, and oblivious to the feelings of others, the siblings make an eventful bet: can Sebastian seduce the new headmaster’s daughter, Annette Hargrove, and strip her of her prized virginity? Meanwhile, can Kathryn get her revenge on naive and innocent student Cecile, who Kathryn blames for wrecking her last relationship? The chase is on for both siblings! However, Sebastian soon learns that there is one issue getting in the way that he could never have imagined: love.

Based on the hit film of the same name and featuring a jukebox score of classic '90s tunes, Cruel Intentions has gained a cult following and has been performed across the world following its successful Off-Broadway run in 2017.
