Cruel Intentions: The '90s Musical  Cruel Intentions: The '90s Musical is a 2015 American jukebox musical based on the 1999 film "Cruel Intentions", with a score made up of hit songs from the 1990s. The musical's book is by Roger Kumble, Lindsey Rosin and Jordan Ross; Kumble was the writer and director of the original film. The film "Cruel Intentions" is itself a modern-day telling of the 1782 French novel "Les Liaisons dangereuses" by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. Four of the score's songs - "Every You Every Me", "Lovefool", "Bitter Sweet Symphony" and Aimee Mann's "You Could Make a Killing" - were also featured in the film. After two runs in Los Angeles and a pop-up engagement in New York, the show made its Off-Broadway debut at Greenwich Village nightclub Le Poisson Rouge in November 2017. Originally scheduled for a ten-week engagement, the show was extended three times, through April 2018. Set to pop and rock hits of the 1990s and songs from the film's soundtrack, the plot of "Cruel Intentions" concerns the manipulations of Sebastian Valmont and Kathryn Merteuil. The diabolical 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 love. The show was the first theater production ever staged at the club Le Poisson Rouge, which offered bar and table service. † "Not on the original cast recording." ‡ "Not credited in all performances." The musical was directed by Lindsey Rosin and choreographed by Jennifer Weber, with music supervision and arrangements by Zach Spound. The original Off-Broadway cast starred Lauren Zakrin as Kathryn, Constantine Rousouli as Sebastian, Carrie St. Louis as Annette, Jessie Shelton as Cecile, Alex Boniello as Blaine (later replaced by Frankie Grande), Brian Muller as Greg, Matthew Griffin as Ronald, and Patricia Richardson as Mrs. Bunny Caldwell. The show was produced by Eva Price and Sucker Love Productions. "The New York Times" called the musical “Funny and nostalgia-fueled! In this "Cruel Intentions", high school schemers sing the best of the ‘90s... the choice lines and the inspired soundtrack hits are all there in this enjoyable show.” "Vanity Fair’s" Richard Lawson commented, “I can't believe how much I recommend the "Cruel Intentions" musical.
