A scene from Cruel Intentions - the Musical

Step-siblings Sebastian Valmont and Kathryn Merteuil engage in a cruel bet: Kathryn goads Sebastian into attempting to seduce Annette Hargrove, the headmaster’s virtuous daughter.

Weaving a web of secrets and temptation, their crusade wreaks havoc on the students at their exclusive Manhattan high school – and it’s not long before the duo become entangled in their own web of deception and unexpected romance.

Abbie Budden will return to the role of Annette Hargrove, with Will Callan (Les Misérables) as Sebastian Valmont; Nic Myers (Cabaret) plays Kathryn; Lucy Carter, Luke Connor Hall, Joe Simmons, Gabriella Williams, Kevin Yates, Olivia Brookes, Ben Fenwick, Sophie Hutchinson and Onuri Smith complete the cast.
