Carly Rae Jepsen Wrote a Musical—And It Might Be 10 Things I Hate About You

Carly Rae Jepsen just made the leap from pop princess to Broadway composer, and the internet is freaking out. Yes, that Carly Rae Jepsen—the queen of Call Me Maybe, Emotion, and making every song feel like the most dramatic moment of your life—has written a full-fledged musical.

This bombshell news dropped courtesy of Jepsen’s former Cinderella co-star Ann Harada, who posted an Instagram photo with her “superstar ex-stepsister” and teased that they were doing a reading of Jepsen’s new musical. The caption? “We get along now, although I think I could still break her little arm.” (Friendly sibling rivalry, Broadway-style.)

So, what’s this mystery musical? Well, for months, rumors have swirled that Jepsen has been working on the music for Lena Dunham’s stage adaptation of 10 Things I Hate About You, the beloved 1999 teen rom-com starring Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger. Fueling the speculation, a Broadway World forum user recently claimed that a survey about next season’s Broadway subscription options listed a Jepsen-penned 10 Things musical.

If true, this would be a match made in melodramatic, pop-fueled heaven. Imagine the iconic I love you, baby stadium scene set to an all-new Jepsen banger. Picture Kat Stratford unleashing a synthy, emotional monologue about high school angst. The potential for musical theater magic (and at least one certified bop) is off the charts.

Whether it’s 10 Things or something entirely different, one thing is clear: Carly Rae Jepsen is about to change the Broadway game. Get ready to cry, dance, and sing along to whatever she’s got in store.
