New movie-to-stage musical Cruel Intentions: The 90s Musical has revealed casting ahead of the show’s run at The Other Palace Theatre in London.
Leading the cast are Rhianne-Louise McCaulsky (Six) as Kathryn and Daniel Bravo (Witness for the Prosecution) as Sebastian, with TikTok star Abbie Budden (Peter Pan) as Annette, and Rose Galbraith (Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends) as Cecile.
The show will also feature Josh Barnett (Newsies, The Last 5 Years) as Blaine, Jess Buckby (42nd Street, Anything Goes) as Ms Bunny Caldwell / Dr Greenbaum, Nickcolia King-N’Da (RSC) as Ronald and Barney Wilkinson (Bonnie & Clyde The Musical, Bat Out of Hell) as Greg.
Further casting is to be announced.
Directed by Jonathan O’Boyle, Cruel Intentions is based on the much-loved 90’s movie that was written by Roger Kumble, and based on Les Liaisons Dangereuses.
The musical is created by Jordan Ross, Lindsey Rosin and Roger Kumble, and features some great 90s hits from top artists of the time including The Verve ‘Bittersweet Symphony’, R.E.M. ‘Losing My Religion’, Natalie Imbruglia ‘Torn’, Ace of Base ‘I Saw the Sign’, Christina Aguilera ‘Genie in a Bottle’, TLC ‘No Scrubs’, Boyz II Men ‘I’ll Make Love to You’, *NSYNC ‘Bye Bye Bye’, Britney Spears ’Sometimes’ and many more.
The show was a huge hit in New York, LA and at the Edinburgh Fringe and promises to follow in the footsteps of Heather’s – another 90s movie-turned musical that proved a hit on stage at The Other Palace and elsewhere.
Also in the creative team are: Associate Director & Choreographer Gary Lloyd; Set & Costume Designer Polly Sullivan; Lighting Designer Nick Richings; Sound Designer Chris Whybrow; Musical Director Denise Crowley; Associate Choreographer Matt Nicholson; Costume Supervisor Hugo Aguirre; and Casting Will Burton for Grindrod Burton.
The show is produced by Bill Kenwright Ltd.

Weaving a web of secrets and temptation, as the two set out to destroy an innocent girl — and anyone who gets in their way — they wreak havoc at their exclusive Manhattan high school, becoming entangled in their own web of deception and unexpected romance with explosive results…
