Cruel Intentions: The 90s Musical is set to open at the The Other Palace theatre in London in January 2024 – and tickets are now on sale.
Based on the cult 90s teen movie starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon and Selma Blair, which is a modern adaptation of the French novel Les Liasions Dangereuses, the musical follows two step-siblings fuelled by passion and revenge intent on destroying the reputation of an innocent girl.
The juke-box musical 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.
Cruel Intentions: The 90s Musical will be directed by Jonathan O’Boyle, with choreography by Associate Director Gary Lloyd. Further creatives are to be announced, along with casting. The show is created by Jordan Ross, Lindsey Rosin and Roger Kumble, and produced by Bill Kenwright Ltd.
In the story, manipulative step-siblings Sebastian and Kathryn, flushed with their own sexual prowess, engage in a cruel bet: Kathryn goads Sebastian into attempting to seduce Annette, the headmaster’s virtuous daughter.
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…
Co-creator Roger Kumble said in a statement: “The perfect 25th anniversary celebration of my 1999 film about a pair of hedonistic Manhattan step-siblings is seeing it re-imagined on the London stage as a musical. It’s an amazing show with a soundtrack loaded with all the greatest ‘90s guilty pleasures songs. Even people who hate musicals will love it!”
Cruel Intentions: The 90s Musical is playing at The Other Palace in Victoria, London from 11 January to 14 April 2024.
