Lena Dunham and Carly Rae Jepsen are bringing a musical adaptation of the 1999 teen rom-com “10 Things I Hate About You” to Broadway, with previews beginning in August 2027. Multiple outlets report the show is scheduled to start preview performances on Aug. 17, 2027, with opening night following after the preview run.
The production is based on the original film, which starred Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger. Credits described across the announcements include a book by Dunham and playwright Jessica Huang, with music and lyrics by Jepsen and Ethan Gruska. Christopher Wheeldon is set to direct and choreograph. While the outlets agree on the key creative team and the 2027 start date, they differ in emphasis—some focus more on the project’s connection to the 1999 movie and its success, while others highlight the artists’ roles and Broadway format transition.
Casting and theater details are not consistently provided in the coverage, with at least one outlet noting that casting remains undisclosed at the time of reporting.
