Review: THE NOTEBOOK at Des Moines Performing Arts
by DC Felton - Dec 5, 2025

Stories can be one of the most powerful things in the world.

'The Notebook: The Musical,' which opened on Tuesday at Des Moines Performing Arts as part of the Willis Broadway Series, not only tells a beautiful story, but the way it is told is something I'm going to remember for a long time.
