Cast announced for the UK premiere of hit US musical Cruel Intentions: The '90s Musical, being produced at the Edinburgh Fringe by the team behind West End smash, Heathers The Musical.
Fuelled by passion and seduced by revenge, gorgeous, glamorous, hedonistic Manhattan step-siblings Sebastian Valmont and Kathryn Merteuil bet on destroying an innocent girl. The show is set to a pumping beat of '90s pop classics - all performed live - including Natalie Imbruglia's 'Torn', 'I Saw the Sign' by Ace of Base,
Boyz II Men's 'I'll Make Love to You', *NSYNC's 'Bye Bye Bye',
Britney Spears' 'Sometimes', R.E.M's 'Losing My Religion', 'Bittersweet Symphony' by The Verve and many more.
