This is an all around fun show that even got a laugh out of my hard to please other half.

Cruel Intentions The ‘90s Musical (***)
A brother and his stepsister set out to corrupt two young virgins to the songs of the 1990s. Even though the cast was talented, because I did not know the popular songs, and my old ears could rarely understand their lyrics, I found most of this sex centered story of little interest. However, my companion, who knew the songs, loved it, and thought it destined for London.
This was the 57th most enjoyable of the 88 shows I have seen so far this year. You may see my other three-sentence reviews, in order from most enjoyable to worst, at my non-commercial website: www.fringefan.com.

If you loved the film you’ll love the show. The cast were talented and made the show fun and light. I liked how some of the hits of the 90s were incorporated within the show. Really enjoyed the performance.

If you've seen the film and love 90's music then you are in for a treat. It was both funny and poignant. Great cast, great energy and the audience loved it!

I’m not one to glibly compliment but this was a fun fast paced 80 minutes with excellent performances from the talented cast, great arrangements of 90s classics. Well worth taking the time to visit this production

In spite of the rather black tone of the original film, this musical still managed to be a lot of fun, revelling in the dark comedy of the clash between the naive and manipulative New York teenagers. The actors seemed to be having a lot of fun and this provided a great evening's entertainment.

Fantastic show! West end quality performers and funny, clever use of the great 90's music. I love musical shows and this is one of the best shows I've been to this year. The audience got it and seemed to have a great time. Highly recommended. A watch out for youngsters - some sexually explicit talk.

Wow! This show was fabulous from start to finish. Excellent acting and very talented singers each and every one. I loved the tongue and cheek genre and how they cleverly and humorously weaved popular 90s music into the story. The vibe from the packed audience tonight was that everyone loved it too- a must see!

Funny, sexual, emotional, great acting and singing, lots of nostalgic tunes, great bodies! Really loved the show despite not being into musicals.

Sorry but I do not know how this show got good reviews by the media as it is a rather poor attempt to weave a story around popular music.
For a musical, the vocals were poor and the acting more amateurish than professional.
For me, and the few people seated around me, it was a cringeworthy hour+, and we were happy to see it end.
Not recommended unless you want to see poor cover versions of your favourite 90s hits.
