CRJ & Lena Dunham Reveal 10 Things I Hate About You Musical

When Carly Rae Jepsen first hit her stride, the pop world was buzzing with her infectious melodies. In 2014, she was riding the wave of massive success with her hit single Call Me Maybe and the critically adored album E·MO·TION.

But Jepsen’s journey extended far beyond chart-topping singles. She had already made a splash on the Broadway stage, making her debut as the lead in the classic musical Cinderella.

Now, over a decade later, the musical prodigy is back, ready for a new adventure. This time, Jepsen isn’t stepping into the role of an actress; she is stepping into the role of a creator. She is teaming up with acclaimed auteur Lena Dunham to tackle a project that taps into the hearts of a specific generation: a musical adaptation of the beloved 1999 classic, 10 Things I Hate About You.

For those of us who grew up with high school rom-coms and dream of the stage, this collaboration feels like a perfect convergence. It offers a vibrant blend of pop sensibility and theatrical storytelling, making it a true dream for millennial theater enthusiasts.
