Based on the iconic film starring Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Phillippe and Sarah Michelle Geller, Cruel Intentions: The ’90s Musical pulls you into the manipulative world of Manhattan’s most dangerous liaisons: Sebastian Valmont and Kathryn Merteuil. Fueled by revenge and passion, the diabolically charming step-siblings place a bet on whether or not Sebastian can deflower their incoming headmaster’s daughter, Annette Hargrove. As the two set out to destroy the innocent girl— and anyone else who gets in their way — they find themselves playing a perilous game with only one rule: Never fall in love.

The cast has a few familiar faces such as Janel Parrish who plays Kathryn Merteuil (Sarah Michelle Gellar in the 1999 film) also starred in the original live performance in 2015 at The Rockwell Table & Stage in Los Angeles. She recently spoke on how the two performances differ in addition to recalling a few notorious moments.

“The most challenging number to learn was actually a mashup that wasn't in the 2015 version that I did. It's pretty genius. Our music director, Zach Spound, created this amazing mashup of like six songs that Kathryn sings,” Janel Parrish told BuzzFeed. “It's called “Kathryn's Turn,” and it's just a moment of her losing her shit. It's definitely challenging, but I like challenge.”

Featuring powerhouse vocalists singing your favorite throwback hits by artists like Boyz II Men, Christina Aguilera, REM, 'NSYNC, and, of course, Britney Spears, this sexy, hilarious, and so-very-cruel musical is the perfect way to spend the holidays!

Following a sold-out run Off-Broadway and a national tour, CRUEL INTENTIONS: THE ‘90S MUSICAL returns home to Los Angeles for a one-night stand, LIVE and IN CONCERT, from The Bourbon Room to your Bedroom and can be streamed until 1/3/22! Grab your tickets HERE!
