Carly Rae Jepsen, Lena Dunham teaming up for '10 Things I Hate About You' musical
Carly Rae Jepsen is teaming up with Lena Dunham to bring "10 Things I Hate About You" to the stage as a Broadway musical.
Jepsen will compose the score along with Grammy winner Ethan Gruska, with Dunham and playwright Jessica Huang writing the book.
The musical is based on the 1999 teen classic starring Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger, which itself was a retelling of William Shakespeare's play "The Taming of the Shrew."
The film famously had its own iconic musical moment with a scene of Ledger performing the Frankie Valli and Bob Gaudio tune "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" on the school bleachers.
"10 Things I Hate About You" also starred Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Laris Oleynik, Andrew Keegan, Gabrielle Union and Larry Miller.
This will be Dunham's debut on a Broadway creative team. Jepsen previously made her Broadway debut as Cinderella in Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Cinderella" in 2014.
An opening date for the "10 Things I Hate About You" musical has not yet been announced.
