The 1999 film "10 Things I Hate About You" is being adapted into a musical, with Lena Dunham and Carly Rae Jepsen collaborating on the project. The musical is scheduled to debut on Broadway in 2027.
Dunham, known for creating the TV series "Girls," will co-write the production's book alongside Jessica Huang. Singer Carly Rae Jepsen will be responsible for writing the songs, working with Ethan Gruska.
Preview performances for the musical are expected to start on August 17, 2027. Details regarding casting and the specific theatre for the show have not yet been announced.
