Finally saw the Cruel Intentions musical. Like I didn't feel like seeing it when it was up in NY since it was at a dinner theater, and I prolly wouldn't have seen it if it was at the Fox because I wouldn't want to deal with the traffic. But since it was at the Cobb Energy Center, only around 10 minutes away from home, and the tickets were decently priced, it was a no brainer.

It was fine. The musical performances were on point. I think the problem the show had was it couldn't decide between whether they were just doing a campy re-reading of the dialogue, or actually acting the stuff out. Plus, I swear they were rushing through the lines. Its like, are you on fast forward or something?

But yeah, it leads to a problem because on the one hand, it works for the parts of the movie where the characters were being outrageous or villainous. But it doesn't work for the Sebastian and Annette stuff. Like I love the movie, but even I was skeptical about Annette falling for Sebastian. And it comes off as even more unbelievable the way they were reading their lines.

Like its fine for the Cecile stuff to be campy, and to their credit, her scenes are hilarious. Same for the Blaine and Greg stuff (who are more of an item here than in the movie). Even Sebastian and Kathryn, since those scenes were them talking about being outrageously evil and cruel, the camp is fine. But the quick line reading hampers any investment you'd have with the show's main couple.

Anyways, small changes between this and the movie- like I said, Blaine and Greg are kinda a thing, and maybe I'm reading too much into things, but I feel Kathryn does... care is not the right word. But the movie always talked about Sebastian and Kathryn being two of a kind and how they're the only ones suited for each other. Or at least, so Kathryn wants Sebastian to believe. As she says, he's just a toy. This still happens in the musical. But my takeaway from her medley there near the end is that despite cruelly dismissing Sebastian as a mere plaything, she was pretty jealous and upset about losing him to Annette.

So in the movie, her calling Ronald just comes off as petty, but here I think its more malicious and revenge fueled.
