Overview
- Producer Mike Bosner announced Monday that the new musical will begin preview performances on Broadway on Aug. 17, 2027.
- The production confirmed a principal creative team: books by Lena Dunham and Jessica Huang, music and lyrics by Carly Rae Jepsen and Ethan Gruska, direction and choreography by Christopher Wheeldon, and music supervision, arrangements and orchestrations by Tom Kitt.
- Mike Bosner is producing the show in special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical, and reporters say the production will forgo an out-of-town tryout in favor of a public presentation in New York.
- Key production details remain pending: casting, the specific Broadway theater and the official opening-night date have not yet been announced.
- The project draws on the 1999 film’s cult legacy and signature moments such as the bleacher serenade, and the accelerated New York-focused timeline will concentrate development on previews and public presentations to finalize the show.
