Nine-time Tony-nominated jukebox musical & Juliet, which debuted in 2019 and is written by Schitt's Creek executive director David West Read, imagines what Juliet's life might've been like if she hadn't killed herself at 13 in Romeo and Juliet. At the suggestion of his wife, Shakespeare rewrites the greatest love story ever told and gives his heroine a not-so-tragic ending.

Is it just too good to be true? No, "10 Things I Hate About You" really is streaming on Netflix. The film, based on the Shakespeare comedy "The Taming of the Shrew," remains one of the most enduring and beloved examples of both '90s teen rom-coms and modern-day Shakespeare adaptations. The cast was also filled with soon-to-be movie stars such as Julia Stiles, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Gabrielle Union, and, of course, future Oscar winner Heath Ledger.
