Cruel Intentions hits HOTA next week

Heads up, Gold Coast! Just one week to go until colourful, theatrical spectacular 'Cruel Intentions: The '90s Musical' hits the HOTA stage.

Following standing ovations across the country and incredible demand, 'Cruel Intentions: the ‘90s Musical' will get the new year party started making its Gold Coast premiere at HOTA, Home of the Arts from 20-28 January.

Audiences will be able to sing-along to the killer line up of back-to-back hits including 'Bittersweet Symphony' (The Verve), 'Every You and Every Me' (Placebo), 'Bye Bye Bye' (*NSYNC), 'Sometimes' (Britney Spears), 'Just A Girl' (No Doubt), 'Foolish Games' (Jewel), 'Genie In A Bottle' (Christina Aguilera), 'Candy' (Mandy Moore), 'Breakfast At Tiffany’s' (Deep Blue Something), 'Kiss Me' (Sixpence None the Richer), 'Iris' (The Goo Goo Dolls), 'I’ll Make Love To You' (Boyz II Men), and more.

The cast includes musical theatre superstar Kirby Burgess as the scheming seductress Kathryn, the role made famous by Sarah Michelle Gellar, alongside hallmark heartthrob Drew Weston, who is very much the brooding ab-fest as Sebastian, originally played by Ryan Phillippe. Kelsey Halge also returns to her breakout role as the virtuous Annette Hargrove, the subject of Sebastian’s desires, played by Reese Witherspoon in the movie.
