’10 Things I Hate About You’ Broadway Musical Adaptation With Music By Carly Rae Jepsen Coming in 2027
The reboot of the 1999 Shakespeare-inspired film will feature a book co-written by Girls ' Lena Dunham.
Broadway will soon be host to a new musical adaptation of the 1999 hit film, 10 Things I Hate About You. Producer Mike Bosner announced on Monday that the show will commence performances on August 17, 2027, with a book co-written by Lena Dunham and Jessica Huang. Grammy nominee Carly Rae Jepsen will collaborate with Grammy-winner Ethan Gruska on the musical's music and lyrics, with Tony winner Christopher Wheeldon directing and choreographing.
Tom Kitt, Grammy winner of Next to Normal, will oversee music supervision, arrangements, and orchestrations. Just like the original movie, the musical will be set in the halls of Padua High, where two sisters navigate the complexities of teenage life as they strive to define themselves on their own terms, defying societal expectations.
The original film starred Julia Stiles, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Heath Ledger, who delivered a memorable performance serenading Stiles with a cover of Frankie Valli's hit song. Casting and further details on the creative team will be revealed later.
