Fans of juicy ‘90s-era high-school dramas about backstabbing prep school teenagers (that’s all of us, right?) got a special treat late Thursday. That’s because Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair shared pics of their recent night out. The stars of the 1999 movie Cruel Intentions had a mini-reunion that was made even better by the location of their hangout: a showing of Cruel Intentions the Musical in LA, a parody stage show based on their cult classic movie.

Watch a video about the reunion:

If Cruel Intentions — a Dangerous Liaisons reimagining that follows the sexual and romantic exploits of rich Manhattan teens — is a fond memory for fans of a certain age, it certainly seems to hold a special place for its stars. Just last year, costar Ryan Phillippe reminisced about shooting the movie with his then-girlfriend and future wife Witherspoon. The couple divorced in 2007, but when they crossed paths in New York last year, he told HuffPo Live, they took their two kids on a Cruel Intentions-inspired walk through Central Park. “They were tripping out on the fact that we were there shooting a movie before they were even a thought in our minds.”
