The iconic '90s rom-com 10 Things I Hate About You is set to be reimagined as a Broadway musical. Pop icon Carly Rae Jepsen teams up with Lena Dunham to write the score and book, respectively. The musical will feature arrangements by Tom Kitt and choreography by Christopher Wheeldon. The adaptation remains uncertain about including the classic song "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You." Originally released in 1999, the film was a modern retelling of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew and launched the careers of its leading stars.
"I can tell you 10 things I'm excited about right now or just skip to number one which is working on this dream project with this dream team!" Jepsen wrote on her Instagram.
Tom Kitt, who wrote the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical Next to Normal, will arrange and orchestrate the show.
With original music by Jepsen and Gruska, it's too soon to say if the screen-to-stage adaptation will clear rights to use "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You," but here's to hoping.
10 Things I Hate About You was released in 1999 as a modern take on the Shakespearean comedy The Taming of the Shrew.
