Carly Rae Jepsen and Lena Dunham Team Up for ’10 Things I Hate About You’ Broadway Musical

Carly Rae Jepsen and Lena Dunham are co-writing a new '10 Things I Hate About You' Broadway musical.

Billboard exclusively reveals that 10 Things is being adapted as a musical — with two major creatives keenly attuned to the nuances of young romance onboard. For Jepsen’s fans — who may have noticed her frequent presence in New York, and at the theater, on social media in recent months — this news answers long-circulating rumors that she was involved in some percolating Broadway project. This isn’t her first big turn in the musical theater realm — she took over the title role in the Broadway production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella in 2014 and played Frenchy in Fox’s Emmy-winning Grease: Live — but 10 Things does mark her debut behind-the-scenes, giving her a chance to show off her deeply emotional pop writing and talent for storytelling through song.
