SYNOPSIS:
Cruel Intentions: The Musical pulls you into the manipulative world of Manhattan’s most dangerous liaisons: Sebastian Valmont and Kathryn Merteuil. Seduced by revenge and fueled by passion, the two diabolically charming step-siblings place a bet on whether or not Sebastian can deflower their incoming headmaster’s daughter. As the two set out to destroy the innocent girl –and anyone who gets in their way– they find themselves entangled in a web of secrets, temptation, and the cruelest game of all: love.
Based on the classic French novel,
Les Liaisons Dangereuses,
and the sexiest teen drama of all time, this new musical is a full-on ’90s throwback to when email was for “geeks and pedophiles” and rosaries were more than a fashion statement. Featuring your favorite nostalgia-inducing hits like, “Lovefool,” “Just A Girl,” “Only Happy When It Rains,” and, of course, “Bittersweet Symphony.”
