About

Based on the French novel, Les Liasions Dangereuses, and the classic cult 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. Seduced by revenge and fueled by passion, the two 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 who gets in their way—they find themselves entangled in a web of secrets, temptation, and the cruelest game of all: love.

Featuring your favorite throwback hits by artists like Boyz II Men, Christina Aguilera, REM, *NSYNC, and, of course, Britney Spears, this intoxicating new musical is "the ultimate night out" (Entertainment Weekly).

    This show was absolutely wonderful!

    by S. W. on 4/14/19Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    I wasn’t sure what to expect going to this play but my girls who grew up in the 90s wanted to see it. It was one of the best plays I’ve ever seen. The cast did an unbelievable job, they played their characters very well and they seemed to enjoy themselves as much as the audience did. There were times you wanted to give a standing ovation in the middle of the play as the scene was done so well. Definitely see it if you have a chance!

    Ahh the memories...

    by Sheens on 4/13/19Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    This was such a great time! They really casted well and they stuck true to the movie with flare in between. All the songs for well into the play and 90s jams are everything. Was not disappointed at all and pleasantly surprised how awesome this play was! I would see it again but sadly it is only playing until the 14th. Go see it if u love this movie and 90s jams!

    Disappointed

    by M. K. on 4/10/19Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    Cruel Intentions is one of my favorite films so I was super excited to see the musical. Unfortunately, the charm and humor of the movie did not come across on stage. The actors rushed through their dialogue and never seemed to pause--even after a funny line. The cast is incredibly talented--no doubt--but didn't seem to have any chemistry with one another. Also, the audio/sound was way too loud for the venue. It could have been turned down a lot! Something was definitely off about this production.

    It was fun

    by Eli-Is-Calling on 4/10/19Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    It is a fun show. I'm older and didn't know most of the music, but by the audience reaction and the context it was easy to follow the humor and irony of the selected songs. Most of the actors have great voices and all had great rapport with the audience. The downside is that in musicals the instrumentals are played too loud and the actors often cannot be heard over the instruments. If we're there to sing along, having them matched is best, but if we are to hear the dialogue hidden in the lyrics, we have to be able to hear what's being said. Otherwise, a fun show.

    90s classics brought to life

    by L. on 4/9/19Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    I absolutely loved the show! I’m obsessed with the movie and I couldn’t wait to see the musical - even though I was a little scared they might ruin it - but I had no reason to fear because besides being true to the movie they perfectly added the soundtrack of our 90s dreams to it! Everyone was laughing and singing alone and it was just great!

    Best to treat this as a parody

    by A.J. on 4/8/19Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    Best to see with a large group of good friends, not a first of second or even third date. You have to know the movies for this show to make any sense. The instruments overpowered the vocals and everything else.

    Not what I expected

    by T on 4/8/19Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    I expected so much more. I like the fact that the musical followed the movie exactly. However, overall I have to give it a 3 stars because it was majorly cheesy.

    The show cast looked very much like those from the movie and for me thst helped me to enjoy the play more. I liked all the music. It came at the right time and while i am older than when i saw it as a youngster, i know that this play was definitely for mature audiences.

    Fun but disfunctional

    by Buffy on 4/5/19Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place - Chicago

    The cast was great and the musical is fun if you love 90s nostalgia. But there were a lot of technical issues with this theatre and the curtain call went on way too long.
