See a Theater Performance
Book a ticket for Cruel Intentions: the 90's musical (5 - 9 October) based on the Hollywood cult classic by the same name. The musical will include over 21 iconic '90s songs including Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve), Bye Bye Bye (*NSYNC), Sometimes (Britney Spears), Genie In A Bottle (Christina Aguilera) and more.Canberra Theatre Centre | Wednesday 5 – Saturday 8 October | tickets here .
