Directed by Michael Greif (Dear Evan Hansen, Next to Normal) and Schele Williams (Aida, The Wiz), The Notebook tells the deeply moving love story of Allie and Noah, two people from different worlds who share a lifetime of connection despite the obstacles that try to pull them apart. The musical features music and lyrics by multiplatinum singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson and a book by Tony Award nominee Bekah Brunstetter (This Is Us, The Cake).
“We are thrilled to bring the iconic love story found in The Notebook to audiences across America,” said producers Kevin McCollum and Kurt Deutsch. “People fell in love with this story first as a novel, then as a much revered film. And now they will be able to experience the heartfelt story of Allie and Noah live on stage, set to a moving and unforgettable score.”
