We imagine many readers will have seen the hit film Cruel Intentions – or at least be aware of it – but for those unfamiliar, it’s an iconic 1999 movie starring Ryan Phillippe and Sarah Michelle Geller. Given how renowned the film is for its songs, it makes sense for the stage adaptation to be a jukebox musical. It has some issues, but on balance we still had a fun evening with this musical adaptation of Cruel Intentions. Some of the attitudes feel a bit dated and some of the pacing is rushed, but this high-camp night of nostalgia still makes for an entertaining evening.
