It’s not too good to be true, we can’t take our eyes off of this 10 Things I Hate About You musical announcement.

A musical adaptation of the beloved film 10 Things I Hate About You is headed to Broadway in 2027. It will start preview performances on Aug. 17, 2027, in a yet-to-be announced theater. The production’s cast and additional creative team members will also be announced at a later date.

“Class begins one year from today. See you August 17, 2027 on Broadway,” the production’s official Instagram captioned an announcement post.

Lena Dunham wrote the musical’s book alongside Jessica Huang. Music and lyrics are by Carly Rae Jepsen and Ethan Gruska. The show’s music supervision, orchestrations and arrangements are by Tom Kitt. It will be directed and choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon.

This new musical “takes us back to the halls of Padua High. Amid the crushes, cliques, and teenage angst, two sisters set out to define themselves on their own terms. This rebellious new musical is about growing up, discovering yourself, and refusing to live by others’ expectations,” according to its official logline.

10 Things I Hate About You is a teenage high school take on William Shakespeare’s classic The Taming of the Shrew. The 1999 film starred Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Larisa Oleynik. One of its most-famous scenes finds Ledger’s Patrick Verona descending the high school’s bleachers as he sings a cover of Frankie Valli’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” to woo Stiles’ Kat Stratford.

This production marks Dunham’s Broadway creative team debut. Jepsen previously performed as the titular princess in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella back in 2014.

By CNN
Click here for updates on this story    BOSTON (WBZ) -- An airline beverage cart being pushed down Newbury Street in Boston may look a bit strange, but not for retired United Airlines flight attendant Paul Veneto.

"I think of what they must have endured that morning on those airplanes," he said"Paulie's Push" began in 2021, 20 years after the attacks. Since that day, Veneto has traveled the path of each flight."I made a promise, all of us did, after 9/11 to never forget. I made a promise to myself to make sure these crew members of these aircrafts were honored and recognized for their heroics; that's why I started Paulie's Push," he said.This year marks 25 years since the 9/11 attacks and Veneto will have officially pushed the cart a total of 1,000 miles. He wanted to ensure that dozens of communities were involved in finishing out the journey and has called it "Everyone's Push.""I went and got four more beverage carts and designed each one for each airplane. And the pictures of the crew members are on each one of those [carts] on the top. We want the public to take part and kids who were not alive on 9/11 to see communities coming together," he said.Debbie Calimano is a flight attendant from Jersey and has been part of the team for the past few years. "I'm honored to be part of the team because being a flight attendant, I think of 9/11 every day I go to work," she said.You can find Veneto's schedule online if you'd like to participate in "Paulie's Push."
