Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair Take in Musical Parody of "Cruel Intentions"
Roger Kumble's 1999 film, which also starred Ryan Phillippe, took in $75 million at the box office.
The musical parody is described thus: "This cult classic tale of seduction and revenge follows despicable step-siblings Sebastian (John Krause, fresh off of Rock of Ages in Las Vegas) and Kathryn ("Faking It"’s Katie Stevens) in their attempt to destroy their classmates (Molly McCook and Wicked's Emma Hunton)."
The production will include Bernstein’s incidental music for Lillian Hellman’s adaptation of The Lark, and Menotti’s The Unicorn, The Gorgon, and The Manticore.
Based on the novel and film by Frank Cottrell Boyce, the new musical will reunite Guettel with Tony-winning Light in the Piazza director Bartlett Sher.
