Lena Dunham and Carly Rae Jepsen’s 10 Things I Hate About You Musical to Debut on Broadway in 2027

Lena Dunham and Carly Rae Jepsen are set to bring their new musical adaptation of "10 Things I Hate About You" to Broadway in 2027. The announcement of the project was made in April 2025. Preview performances are scheduled to commence on August 17th, 2027. Based on Gil Junger's 1999 teen comedy, which itself was a loose adaptation of Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew," the musical will include a book by Dunham and Jessica Huang, as well as music and lyrics by Jepsen and Ethan Gruska.

Christopher Wheeldon will direct and choreograph the show, while Tom Kitt will supervise music supervision, arrangements, and orchestrations. The exact theater, opening night, and cast have not been disclosed yet. "10 Things I Hate About You" will mark Carly Rae Jepsen's first musical, although she previously performed as the lead role in Rodgers + Hammerstein's "Cinderella" on Broadway in 2014.

Jepsen, who is set to release her new double album "Day and Night" on September 18th, also has a special performance planned at All Things Go in New York City next month.
