Pop star to compose score while ‘Girls’ creator adapts cult ‘90s rom-com for the stage
The beloved ’90s rom-com 10 Things I Hate About You is getting a Broadway makeover, with pop sensation Carly Rae Jepsen scoring the music and Lena Dunham co-writing the adaptation.
Jepsen, teaming up with collaborator Ethan Gruska, promises a fresh yet nostalgic soundtrack, while Dunham joins playwright Jessica Huang to adapt the iconic script.
Directed and choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon (An American in Paris), with orchestrations by Pulitzer winner Tom Kitt, the musical is shaping up to be a star-studded affair.
Fans are already buzzing—will Jepsen’s pop magic revive Heath Ledger’s iconic serenade?
