BREAKDOWN
Based on Roger Kumble’s film, the relentless game of cat and mouse comes alive in CRUEL INTENTIONS: THE MUSICAL. The cult classic tale of seduction and revenge follows despicable stepsiblings, Sebastian and Kathryn, in their attempt to destroy their classmates. This 90s jukebox musical will make you laugh, cry, and when the stakes are this high, maybe even fall in love. And, sometimes, that’s the cruelest thing of all.
PLEASE NOTE: We are looking for ADULT actors 18+ for ALL roles.
