‘Cruel Intentions’

Boasting innuendo about “booty sex” and boy-band dance moves, ‘Cruel Intentions’ is a 1990s-set jukebox musical with songs by The Verve, Britney Spears and more. The plot, about two diabolical sex and power-obsessed step-siblings, boasts a complicated bloodline; the 2015 musical, derived from a 1999 film starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, is an adaptation of the 1782 novel ‘Les Liaisons dangereuses,’ filmed as ‘Dangerous Liaisons’ (1988).
