Cruel Intentions: The '90s Musical pulls the audience into the manipulative world of Manhattan's most dangerous liaisons. Seduced by revenge and fueled by passion, diabolically charming step-siblings Sebastian Valmont and Kathryn Merteuil place a bet on whether or not Sebastian can deflower Annette Hargrove, their incoming headmaster's daughter. As the two set out to destroy the innocent girl - and anyone who gets in their way - they find themselves entangled in a web of secrets, temptation and the cruelest game of all: love.
