With the framing narrative of THE NOTEBOOK being closely tied to Alzheimer's disease, memory is a major theme of the show. Although the story is told by Older Noah linearly, all three versions of the leads are present on stage and in the music throughout the show. This gives the show a dreamy characteristic, perfectly encapsulating the feeling of characters’ nostalgia it seeks to emulate. The casting is also very clever, making Allie’s nurse, Lori, played by the same person who plays her mother (Anne Tolpegin). The through line was a very intriguing way to weave in the themes of caretaking and motherhood.
