Call me later 'cause you AMAZE me. . . yes indeed, the musical version of the '90s teen romance of ultimate indulgence and total escapism, 'Cruel Intentions', will soon land in Australia.
After wowing audiences across the US and UK (including the original film cast members Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Selma Blair and Ryan Phillippe), 'Cruel Intentions: The '90s Musical' was penned by the writer and director of the film Roger Kumble, along with Jordan Ross and Lindsey Rosin.
Featuring a soundtrack dripping in '90s mega hits – including 'Bittersweet Symphony' (The Verve), 'Bye Bye Bye' (*NSYNC), 'Just A Girl' (No Doubt), 'Foolish Games' (Jewel), 'Genie In A Bottle' (Christina Aguilera), 'Candy' (Mandy Moore), 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' (Deep Blue Something) and much more – 'Cruel Intentions: The '90s Musical' will have seasons in Melbourne (from 25 May), Sydney (from 30 June), Brisbane (from 27 July) and Adelaide (8 September).
'Cruel Intentions: The '90s Musical' draws you deep into the intoxicating world of Manhattan's most tempting liaisons.
Sebastian and Kathryn are seduced by revenge and fuelled by passion.
Set out to ravage the virtuous Annette Hargrove and anyone who gets in their way, the siblings find themselves entangled in a web of secrets, temptation and the cruellest game of all – love.
"'Cruel Intentions' is the ultimate night out," says David of David Venn Enterprises – whose previous productions include 'The Wedding Singer' and 'Bring It On: The Musical'.
"Whether you're a fan of the movie, or just like iconic music, you'll find something to love in this devilishly fun, new high-octane production."
