Carly Rae Jepsen and Lena Dunham have joined forces to bring a musical version of the 1999 film 10 Things I Hate About You to Broadway.
The creative team also includes producer Ethan Gruska, who collaborated with Jepsen on songs from her last album, The Loveliest Time, and award-winning playwright Jessica Huang, who will co-write the musical’s book with Dunham, according to Billboard.

The project won’t be Jepsen’s first foray into Broadway. She previously did a stint in the title role in the Broadway revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella in 2014 and played Frenchy in the 2016 production of Fox-TV’s Grease: Live. However, this marks the first off-stage role for her and Dunham on the Great White Way.
Jepsen announced the project with a carousel post on Instagram along with the caption, “I can tell you 10 things I’m excited about right now or just skip to number one which is working on this dream project with this dream team! #10ThingsMusical ?❤️ @ethangruska@lenadunham#jessicahuang@wheeldony@tomkittmusic@mikebosner@mirandousha@donteekiehn.”
Fans were thrilled by the news, with one predicted that Jepsen has an award in her future. “CARLY RAE JEPSEN TONY INCOMING,” they wrote, while another posted, “I've always said your music feels like a musical, we're finally getting a musical from you ❤️.”
“Just when you thought Broadway couldn’t get any more magical, Carly Rae said “HOLD MY SWORD.” ?,” another wrote, while another fan added, “Omg yess to this!!”
The 1999 film, based on Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, starred Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
