Lena Dunham and Carly Rae Jepsen to bring 10 Things I Hate About You to Broadway
The 1999 teen hit is set to become a Broadway musical with the Girls creator and pop singer-songwriter teaming up
Based on Shakespeare’s 1594 play The Taming of the Shrew, 10 Things I Hate About You was a box office hit in 1999 that gained cult-favorite status in the years since, launching the careers of Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles. Written by Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith and directed by Gil Junger, the romantic comedy followed the travails of the Stratford sisters in the 1990s Seattle suburbs, as they’re subjected to their father’s strict rules on dating and wooed by fellow students. Jepsen, the Canadian songwriter behind such hits as Call Me Maybe and Run Away With Me, 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.
