Cruel Intentions: The 90s Musical / O.C.R.

Original cast recording. Coinciding almost perfectly with the 20th anniversary of the Roger Kumble film from which it is based, the new Off-Broadway musical Cruel Intentions uses hit songs from the 1990s as it’s central motif. Cast members pay tribute to the decade with stellar performances of The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony”, Christina Aguilera’s “Genie In a Bottle”, the Cardigans’ “Lovefool” and the lead single “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, originally by Deep Blue Something. Created by Jordan Ross, Lindsey Rosin and Roger Kumble, Cruel Intentions: The ’90s Musical (and it’s cinematic predecessor) is an adaption from the classic 1792 French novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. Two time Grammy-winning record producer Stewart Lerman took music director Zach Spound’s orchestrations and arrangements from Cruel Intentions: The ’90s Musical into his studio. No Doubt’s “Just a Girl”, Counting Crows’ “Colorblind” and a unique version of TLC’s “No Scrubs” were brought to life by cast members Carrie St. Louis, Constantine Rousouli, Alex Boniello and Patricia Richardson, whose performances intertwine plot points with the original lyrics of these recognizable hits.
