#EdFringe: Cruel Intentions the 90s Musical review
If you can get past how inappropriate, cruel (well, duh), and kind of icky the movie is, Cruel Intentions is a lot of fun on stage, complete with every 90s banger you love to hate, but still just as inappropriate and awkward as the original film.

I read the Edinburgh Fringe guide cover to cover and all you got was this stupid article.
Like a souvenir, except way sassier. #edfringevirgin #edfringeburgin
